ClouDNS has been part of the OpenBLD.net infrastructure for many years. It’s one of those rare cases where a service consistently proves its quality over time:

• Global network (Anycast + GeoDNS)
• Failover and fallback mechanisms
• Monitoring and health checks
• Stability and SLA
• Cost-effective

The privacy march continues! 🚀

Anonymized IPs are cool, but now they’re deduplicated too! OpenBLD.net is rolling out an event deduplication mechanism. Anonymization + Deduplication — what could be better?

OpenBLD is implementing an IP anonymization mode. Address data will be masked in logs and metrics—if any, and if they're not needed in their raw form.

DNS reveals more than you think. Your behavior is your life, it's your daily pattern.

This is one of those cases when a service truly becomes part of your infrastructure.

Honestly, for me, it’s a clear choice.

A lot has been achieved over the years, but this past month we’ve rolled out a major update: forced domain digital signature verification (DNSSEC) at the deepest levels of the OpenBLD ecosystem.

While you were sleeping (or maybe not), I rebuilt the “engine” of our update system. Meet benZine — the fuel that hunts malicious DNS signatures all over the world and pumps them straight into OpenBLD servers.

So, what’s changed?​

Over the past year, benZine has evolved from a simple script into a powerful ecosystem. The code has been rewritten and delivery fully optimized — now:

• Millions of domains are processed in just a couple of minutes
• Updates reach servers in seconds
