ChinaDNS-NG is a rewritten and enhanced version of ChinaDNS that splits DNS queries between domestic (China) and trusted upstream DNS servers based on domain lists like chnlist and gfwlist. It supports UDP/TCP/DoT upstreams, dynamic ipset/nftset population, DNS caching, and fine-grained IPv6 filtering to support transparent proxy and anti-censorship routing setups.

Use cases

  • split DNS queries between Chinese and foreign DNS servers
  • avoid DNS poisoning when resolving blocked domains
  • populate ipset or nftables sets with resolved IPs for transparent proxying
  • prevent DNS leaks when using a VPN or proxy
  • run a lightweight DNS forwarder on an OpenWrt router
  • resolve Chinese domains via domestic DNS for CDN-friendly results

When to choose

  • you need DNS-based traffic splitting for transparent proxy setups like ss-tproxy
  • you want gfwlist/chnlist-based domain routing with ipset/nftset integration
  • you run a Linux router or embedded device and need a fast, low-memory DNS splitter
  • you need DoT support and DNS caching with stale-cache and pre-refresh features

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose full-featured DNS server like dnsmasq or AdGuard Home
  • you are not in a censorship/DNS-pollution scenario and just need a simple DNS resolver
  • you need DNS-over-HTTPS upstreams, which are not supported
  • you need a GUI-managed DNS solution
