⚡️ ClouDNS.net - Supported OpenBLD.net in the 2024! 🤝

Striving to make the Internet faster and safer, everyone takes steps in this direction. ClouDNS supported the OpenBLD project this year with its unparalleled hosting.

Personal Experience

I've been using ClouDNS.net for the OpenBLD.net project for several years now. Prior to this, I've tried all the popular and well-known DNS services worldwide, and with 100% confidence, I want to say:

- ClouDNS.net is the best DNS hoster I've ever encountered 💯

I especially want to highlight the stability of ClouDNS. Throughout the entire period of usage, there hasn't been a single outage, making ClouDNS the perfect choice for OpenBLD.

I highly recommend ClouDNS to anyone looking for a high-quality DNS hosting service.

Don't hesitate to help each other. Peace to all! ✌️

🟢OpenBLD.net Implemented OISD blocklist

OISD is a one of better projects aimed to reduce internet noise.

The blocklist prevents your devices from connecting to unwanted or harmful domains. It reduces ads, decreases the risk of malware, and enhances privacy.

You can use OISD without exclusions, without additional blocklist - just only OISD in OpenBLD.net as DoH link in RIC mode:

Understanding that advertisements are junk information for a child's brain, I also recognize that "adult content" is even more unacceptable for minors.

Starting today, I'm launching a new server in test mode with filtering for this type of content.

If the testing is successful, the service will be integrated into the overall OpenBLD.net ecosystem.

🚀 OpenBLD.net - Improved Performance

🔹 Why speed is important

Speed directly affects our time; the faster the service works, the faster your Internet works, thus saving your time and the time of consuming server resources.

Time is life, time is money, time is the most important resource in the world, which we must treat with care.

🔹 What has been done

I have optimized the input/output operations of the OpenBLD.net servers, updated code, and optimized the servers configuration, which has led to a speed increase of about ~10 percent.

Now the server works even faster, and you can enjoy the benefits of the OpenBLD.net service even more.

I hope it works for you as quickly as it does for me. Peace to everyone ✌️
