Technitium DNS Server

Authoritative/recursive DNS server with ad blocking functionality.

Technitium DNS Server is an open source authoritative and recursive DNS server designed for self-hosting, giving users control over DNS privacy and security. It runs with no or minimal configuration and is managed through a web console accessible from any modern browser.

The server supports DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, and DNS-over-QUIC forwarders, which encrypt DNS queries so they are protected from spying or hijacking. It handles both authoritative and recursive DNS roles within the same installation.

It is intended for users and administrators who want to run their own DNS infrastructure. The software is open source, and the pages do not specify particular editions, seat-based licensing, or usage-based plans.
