About Technitium DNS Server
Block ads & malware at DNS level for your entire network! Self host a DNS server for privacy & security. Technitium DNS Server is an open-source authoritative as well as recursive DNS server that can be used for self-hosting a DNS server for privacy & security. It works out-of-the-box with no or minimal configuration and provides a user-friendly web console accessible using any modern web browser. Nobody really bothers about domain name resolution since it works automatically behind the scenes and is complex to understand. Most computer software uses the operating system's DNS resolver that usually queries the configured ISP's DNS server using UDP protocol. This way works well for most people but, your ISP can see and control what website you can visit even when the website employs HTTPS security. Not only that, some ISPs can redirect, block or inject content into websites you visit even when you use a different DNS provider like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS.
