🚀 OpenBLD.net - Switched to in-touch release model

A few weeks ago I announced Canary release, now I decided switch to "in-touch" deployment stages.

To start with, I'm using my "Flex App Additions Methodology" in my projects. Often some bugs have to be fixed quickly, we all want these bugs to be fixed quickly..)

My "in-touch" release model includes:

1. Trunk-based development model
2. Rolling release
3. Canary > Production deployment

This model can includes unnotified maintenance window ~3 minutes or 3 iteration maximum in a day, this does not mean that the service will be unavailable at this time, you just need to keep in mind that if suddenly something goes wrong for you, you immediately let me know about it, that's all)

Be patient while running, only forward!

OpenBLD.net is always with you ✌️

🚀 OpenBLD.net new DNS server in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Almaty

Recently learned about 3hcloud.kz. Went, tried it and was pleasantly surprised:

• speed (connectivity and instances are super)
• liked the firewall
• prices were pleasantly surprising

After several weeks of testing, I can firmly say - compatibility with OpenBLD.net is present.

Configure Chrome as described here:

• How-to set up your favorite Browser

And then open the site that got you with ads and be surprised yourself.

P.S. There is a case or something does not work - welcome at any time (contacts)

P.P.S. Yandex Cloud unfortunately turned out to be incompatible with OpenBLD.net quality requirements, all servers based on this cloud will be abolished in the near future ⚰️

UptimeRobot.com - The world's leading uptime monitoring service, supported OpenBLD.net in the year 2024! 🤝

UptimeRobot Experience​

UptimeRobot is the best monitoring solution for OpenBLD.net and exactly what I need:

• Multiple UptimeRobot monitoring PoPs
• Various locations worldwide
• Different monitor types (ports, protocols, etc.)
• Notifications via Telegram, Email
• One feature I especially value is the status page that displays the health of all servers in my project: bld-status.sys-adm.in

I've been using UptimeRobot for many years and have never experienced any issues with their service. Of course:

• I highly recommend UptimeRobot to anyone looking for a reliable online monitoring service.

The free plan includes 50 monitors with 5-minute checks totally free:

• Go to UptimeRobot.com.

I hear a lot of good reviews from people about the new Yandex cloud in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿. And so, having saved up some money and received a small deposit from Yandex, I decided to try the cloud.

Starting today, a new server has appeared in Karaganda, which will enter the general OpenBLD.net ecosystem in the next 24 hours.

I really hope that this step will help improve the service, speed up the work of DoH and DoT clients of the capital of the Kazakhstan region and Central Kazakhstan as a whole.

Let's go further in a good mood and faith in success 💪

You can find out how to connect to the service on the project homepage.

Today wll deploy new zBLD backend release in to production environment.

Major updates:

• Adding Rsyslog log forwarder
• Blocking log enricher - additional (domain category) into to rsyslog
• Guarantee DNS response mechanisms
• Reduce some log messages
• Update local log rotation mechanisms
• Fix global DNS queries counter for Prometheus exporter exporter

Impact:

• There won't be an impact, but if you get a timeout today, it should be as short as possible

In any case, I'm always in touch) Peace! 😎

Why speed is important​

Speed directly affects our time; the faster the service works, the faster your Internet works, thus saving your time and the time of consuming server resources.

Time is life, time is money, time is the most important resource in the world, which we must treat with care.

What has been done​

I have optimized the input/output operations of the OpenBLD.net servers, updated code, and optimized the servers configuration, which has led to a speed increase of about ~10 percent.

Now the server works even faster, and you can enjoy the benefits of the OpenBLD.net service even more.

I hope it works for you as quickly as it does for me. Peace to everyone ✌️
