๐ŸŸฉ OpenBLD.net v8 is here โ€“ Cache Warming, UNIX Sockets, and More! ๐Ÿš€

Excited to introduce the next milestone in the evolution of the open DNS service OpenBLD.net!

Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s new:

  • Speed โ€“ UNIX sockets + Caching + Load Balancing
  • Efficiency โ€“ Port reuse allows multiple instances to run on the same port
  • Load Balancing โ€“ Zero logs (except for errors) for maximum performance
  • Memory Optimization โ€“ The core binaries take up just 6MB, with the cache stored in binary form, totaling only 11MB
  • Buffered Disk Writes โ€“ When necessary, writes go through dedicated buffers (tested at 10 million entries in 3.3 seconds)
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Cache Warming โ€“ Thousands of domains are preloaded to keep the cache hot, ensuring ultra-fast DNS responses
  • ๐Ÿ” Security โ€“ Supports Prometheus, SIEM, and Syslog exports for advanced monitoring (for business usage needs)

New mechanisms unlock new possibilitiesโ€”helping you maintain cyber hygiene, save time, and protect your privacy.
