🏎 OpenBLD.net – Increased Throughput

OpenBLD.net – Engine for a Faster Internet​

These are the new "gears" in the racing engine of OpenBLD.net. Some have been rewritten or built from scratch:

  • Synchronous processing of block lists
  • Caching of blocking events
  • Updated caching system β€” the log enricher now has its own cache
  • Enhanced request processing system
  • New health-checking system for upstream servers, with response time detection
  • Improved load balancing, routing requests to servers with the lowest response time
  • Optimized parallel DNS request handling, delivering the fastest response

I hope these features will help us save valuable time online while the OpenBLD.net system's gears run smoothly under the hood.

What's Gears?​

Gears are the components of the OpenBLD.net system that help to customize online experiences.
