🏎 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 — 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.

Feedback

If you notice any “engine misfires,” please let me know. I’m always open to constructive feedback.

Wishing everyone a safe journey across the internet! ✌️

These ambitious plans will be realized one way or another, but with 3HCLOUD, I’m confident they will happen faster 🚀

OpenBLD.net presents: New Guaranteed Response System

Have you ever faced issues with receiving responses from servers? Timeouts, errors, or empty replies can significantly disrupt some workflows. But I tried, and I think I found a solution!

🟩 The new OpenBLD.net feature includes a guaranteed response system that activates in cases where the standard resolution process fails. If you receive a Servfail status or other errors, we employ additional logic, and the service takes a:

  • Internal pool of servers.
  • External pool of servers.

By mixing both, we ensure unique servers without upstreams that returned a fail status or are busy.

This means that even if the initial response was unsuccessful, we continue the search for the correct answer, ensuring reliability and accuracy for you.

Don’t let response issues slow down your life or business!

Be yourself, be focused! ✌️

OpenBLD.net - Growth to Canada with REGXA

We're excited to announce that OpenBLD.net has launched a new Point of Presence (PoP) in Canada, hosted by REGXA!

In collaboration with REGXA, we also plan to establish two more PoPs in France and India in the next six months. I truly believe this partnership will bring significant benefits to everyone—enhancing the security of OpenBLD.net for our users and expanding our reach. REGXA has proven to be a reliable hosting provider, successfully handling the current load of OpenBLD.net.

Moreover, our tests indicate that the new server in Canada responds significantly faster than others. So, we're moving forward!

Take care, everyone! ✌️
