What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A serverless, Pi-hole-style DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS resolver with configurable blocklists. It deploys to Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Fastly Compute@Edge, and Fly.io, and powers the RethinkDNS resolver in production.

Use cases

  • self-host a private DNS resolver on free serverless tiers
  • block ads and trackers at the DNS level
  • block malware and phishing domains network-wide
  • set up DNS-over-HTTPS for my devices
  • replace Pi-hole with a serverless alternative
  • configure parental controls like blocking adult or gambling sites
  • encrypt DNS queries so ISPs cannot see browsing activity

When to choose

  • you want a Pi-hole-like blocker without running your own hardware
  • you need a fast, globally distributed DoH/DoT resolver on free tiers
  • you want configurable blocklists with per-user endpoints

When to avoid

  • you need full local network control or detailed local logging like Pi-hole
  • you need traditional port-53 plain DNS resolution
  • you cannot use edge/serverless platforms
