SmartDNS is a local DNS server written in C that queries multiple upstream DNS servers concurrently and returns the fastest-responding IP to clients, improving network access speed. It supports DoT, DoH, and DoQ for encrypted queries, per-client rules, domain-based routing, and ad filtering, and runs on Linux, OpenWrt, ASUS routers, Raspberry Pi, and Windows/WSL.

Use cases

  • speed up website access by resolving the fastest IP
  • run a local DNS server with DNS over HTTPS/TLS/QUIC
  • block ads and malicious domains via DNS
  • split DNS queries across different upstream servers per domain
  • set up DNS on an OpenWrt or ASUS router
  • apply parental controls per client device by MAC or IP

When to choose

  • you want faster browsing by picking the fastest IP from multiple upstream DNS servers
  • you need encrypted DNS (DoT/DoH/DoQ) on a router or local network
  • you want DNS-level ad filtering with high-performance domain matching
  • you need per-client DNS rules or domain-based upstream routing with nftables/ipset integration

When to avoid

  • you need a full recursive authoritative DNS server rather than a forwarding/caching resolver
  • you want a GUI-first DNS solution with minimal configuration
  • your platform is unsupported (e.g., non-Linux embedded systems outside OpenWrt/ASUS)
