Numa is a portable DNS resolver in a single Rust binary that provides ad blocking, local .numa service domains, hostname overrides, and privacy-preserving ODoH encrypted queries. It runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows as a system service with a built-in web dashboard and optional public ODoH relay mode.

Use cases

  • block ads and trackers on any network via DNS
  • give local dev services friendly .numa domain names with HTTPS
  • override hostnames temporarily with auto-revert
  • encrypt DNS queries with ODoH for privacy
  • run a local DNS server with DNSSEC validation
  • run a public ODoH relay endpoint
  • reverse-proxy local dev servers with path-based routing

When to choose

  • you want a single-binary, cross-platform DNS resolver with ad blocking built in
  • you need local HTTPS domains for development without mkcert or /etc/hosts
  • you care about DNS privacy and want ODoH or DNS-over-TLS
  • you want to contribute to the ODoH relay ecosystem

When to avoid

  • you need a full enterprise DNS server with zone management or DHCP
  • you require BIND/Unbound feature parity like complex zone delegation
  • you only need ad blocking and prefer a lighter hosts-file-based tool
