About:
Technitium DNS Server is a modern, cross-platform authoritative and recursive DNS server designed for privacy and security. It supports DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) out of the box, enabling encrypted DNS queries. The server includes advanced features like block lists, DNSSEC validation, and local zone management to protect your network.
Key Features:
  • DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) support
  • Built-in blocking of malware and ad domains via block lists
  • DNSSEC validation for authentic DNS responses
  • Authoritative and recursive DNS capabilities
  • Web-based GUI for easy management
Use Cases:
  • Self-hosting a private DNS resolver to prevent ISP tracking
  • Blocking ads, trackers, and malware at the network level
  • Running a local authoritative DNS server for home lab development
Alternatives:
  • bind9 – BIND is the industry standard but has a steeper learning curve and lacks a modern built-in GUI.
  • pihole – Pi-hole focuses primarily on ad-blocking via DNS, whereas Technitium is a full-featured DNS server with both recursive and authoritative roles.
