About Technitium DNS

Technitium DNS Server is an open-source authoritative as well as recursive DNS server (GPL-3.0, C#/.NET) for self-hosting DNS with privacy and security: DNS-level ad and malware blocking, DNS-over-TLS/HTTPS/QUIC encrypted DNS with forwarders, DNSSEC validation, clustering, SSO (OIDC) and LDAP, plus a browser-based admin web console (technitium.com/dns). It works on Windows, Linux, macOS and Raspberry Pi, with an official Docker image (technitium/dns-server) and an automated installer.
