🛡 OpenBLD.net — Invisible DNS Protection for Everyday Security

OpenBLD — DNS filtering continues to be strengthened, evolving into a reliable security layer rather than just a resolver.

Over the past weeks several core mechanisms have been enhanced:

✅ Validator ASCII — strict domain validation based on RFC standards
✅ Abuse Module — fast blocking of suspicious sources
✅ Rated Module — added sharding to protect against overload and DoS
✅ Unicode Detector — preparing basic protection against IDN homograph attacks and phishing

DNS is not only about speed — it’s a Security Assistant, quietly protecting users every day.

🚀 OpenBLD.net — the evolution of DNS security continues.

ℹ️ The update will be rolled out across all ADA instances within the upcoming week.

🛰 OpenBLD.net теперь и в Астане!

Первый DNS-сервер в столице Казахстана — запущен при поддержке NOVA Cloud.

OpenBLD становится ещё ближе к пользователям — и в прямом, и в цифровом смысле.
Быстрый отклик, надёжная фильтрация, защита от фишинга и трекеров прямо здесь - рядом.

🔧 Что нового с запуском узла в Астане:

• Ещё более быстрый отклик в столице и северных регионах
• Доступ по безопасным протоколам: DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), DNS-over-TLS (DoT)
• Снижение нагрузки и ускорение отклика благодаря интеллектуальному распределению трафика
• DNS-фильтрация теперь ещё стабильнее при высоких нагрузках
✅ Гео-распределение трафика между городами-миллионниками: Астана, Алматы, Шымкент

Спасибо NOVA Cloud Kazakhstan за доверие и техническую поддержку!

Это важный шаг для цифровой экосистемы Казахстана и развития безопасного интернета — когда инфраструктура размещается здесь, у нас, в Казахстане 🇰🇿

💡 Интернет без лишнего шума, слежки и кибер-угроз — это не магия, это OpenBLD.net

OpenBLD.net is entering a new era of performance. 🚀

Over the past months, I’ve been working on a major upgrade of the zBLD core.

The focus is clear — acceleration, resilience, and predictable performance under load.

Key improvements:

- Multi-level Rate Limiter (RTL) to absorb traffic spikes
- Thread separation & sharding — reducing pressure on the main processing path
- ~30% of operations moved to async execution
- Stricter RFC-based DoH traffic validation — less “garbage,” lower latency
- Error sampling for unstable clients — reduced disk I/O load
- Reworked domain-filtering engine
- Improved detection of suspicious / DGA domains
- Optimized Linux networking stack and I/O behavior

Result: overall throughput increased by roughly 2×, and priority domains now resolve even faster thanks to smarter deferred analysis.

The update rollout is planned for mid–late December.

Only forward! 💪 Be yourself, be focused!

⚡️ benZine: Full Throttle for OpenBLD.net!

While you were sleeping (or maybe not), I rebuilt the “engine” of our update system.

Meet benZine — the fuel that hunts malicious DNS signatures all over the world and pumps them straight into OpenBLD servers.

So, what’s changed?
Over the past year, benZine has evolved from a simple script into a powerful ecosystem. The code has been rewritten and delivery fully optimized — now:

• Millions of domains are processed in just a couple of minutes
• Updates reach servers in seconds

Why does this matter for you, me, and all of us?

Before, after a server restart or a database update, there was a small “window” where fresh internet noise could slip through.

That window is now closed. Security policies are applied almost instantly.

OpenBLD.net is becoming not just cleaner — but faster. We remove digital junk before it even has a chance to think about our traffic)🔥

Thanks for riding along with OpenBLD.net.
More to come. Peace! ✌️

OpenBLD.net — Forced DNSSEC Under the Hood 🛡

A lot has been achieved over the years, but this past month we’ve rolled out a major update: forced domain digital signature verification (DNSSEC) at the deepest levels of the OpenBLD ecosystem.

What does this give us?

+1 Protection against domain spoofing.
+1 Resilience to attacks.
+1 Security Karma for the whole OpenBLD project.

Security shouldn’t slow you down. That’s why these changes are implemented to ensure top-tier protection stays perfectly in sync with high-speed performance.

This is one more step towards:

• Independence from public DNS monopolists.
• Enhanced privacy.
• Building our own secure, self-sustained infrastructure.

It’s another big plus: +1 to Independence and Privacy 🥷

Stay safe. Peace! ✌️

🤝 UptimeRobot.com supports OpenBLD.net

This is one of those cases when a service truly becomes part of your infrastructure.

Honestly, for me, it’s a clear choice.

Why

• 50 free monitors

🥷 OpenBLD.net — IP Anonymization

OpenBLD is implementing an IP anonymization mode. Address data will be masked in logs and metrics—if any, and if they're not needed in their raw form.

DNS reveals more than you think. Your behavior is your life, it's your daily pattern.

Typical request path: Request > Domain > Time > Location

Your pattern, if you want a digital stamp)

OpenBLD now features IP anonymization in logs and metrics:

• masking
• hashing
• nothing at all or just the word "hidden"

This mode will be gradually implemented and, if possible, universally.

In case of diagnostics, well, let's try to troubleshoot the first octet and time. We'll see.

Privacy starts with DNS! Peace ✌️

⚡ DNS is not just about domains. It is about Trust.

Recent supply chain incidents are a strong reminder that modern attacks often start through tools and workflows developers already trust:

• npm packages and dependency updates
• compromised maintainer accounts
• VSCode extensions
• GitHub Actions workflows
• fake installers and update mechanisms

Several recent cases highlight this trend:

• Axios compromised on npm - malicious versions dropped a Remote Access Trojan >
• Compromised VSCode Nx Console >
• OpenAI TanStack npm supply chain attack >
• OpenAI Axios developer tool compromise >
• GitHub unauthorized access to internal repositories >
• Grafana supply chain (tweet) ransomware incident >

The key takeaway: supply chain attacks are becoming more relevant to every developer, engineering team, and company.

DNS security should not be treated as an optional layer.

It can provide visibility and control when malicious code attempts to:

• connect to C2 infrastructure
• reach phishing domains
• communicate with fake update servers
• exfiltrate data through suspicious endpoints

If malicious code has already entered the environment, visibility becomes critical...

At this point, the key questions are simple:

• Can you see where it is trying to connect?
• Can you understand whether that connection is expected?
• Can you react before the incident becomes bigger?

OpenBLD.net - Security starts earlier than incident response.

Watch yourself, your emails, your extensions, and your DNS. Peace ✌️
