Blocky is a fast, lightweight DNS proxy and network-wide ad blocker designed for home labs and small networks that want Pi-hole-like filtering with more flexible DNS routing and modern protocol support. It blocks DNS queries using external deny lists while also supporting allow lists, and it can scope policies by client groups so different devices or households can have different rulesets. Unlike a single-purpose blocker, it supports advanced DNS behavior such as conditional forwarding and custom resolution for specific domains, letting you shape traffic in ways that fit split-horizon DNS, internal services, or privacy-focused upstream strategies. ...

...The project focuses on stability, speed, and compatibility across different resolver behaviors. It uses a custom protocol with ARQ, low overhead, resolver balancing, and multipath behavior to improve performance under packet loss. MasterDnsVPN also includes client and server configuration files, Docker support, and installation scripts for easier deployment. It is best understood as an experimental transport system for DNS-based tunneling rather than a general-purpose commercial VPN.
