OpenBLD.net - New Server in Kazakhstan

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.

OpenBLD.net - Boost performance

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 ✌️

OpenBLD.net - Kid Protection Test Mode

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 OpenBLD.net - Caring for Children

Understanding that advertisements are junk information for a child's brain, I also recognize that "adult content" is even more unacceptable for minors.

This includes:

  • Pornography
  • Escort services
  • Gambling

Starting today, I'm launching a new server in test mode with filtering for this type of content.

  • DoT settings: kid.openbld.net
  • DoH settings: https://kid.openbld.net/dns-query

If the testing is successful, the service will be integrated into the overall OpenBLD.net ecosystem.

Protect your younger generation. And of course, stay connected.

Peace to everyone ✌️

OpenBLD.net - OISD Integrate

OISD it is one of better projects aimed to reduce internet noise. You can use OISD for own purposes, in your DNS server, or you can use it in OpenBLD.net as a ready-made solution.

What is this oisd blocklist?

The blocklist prevents your devices from connecting to unwanted or harmful domains. It reduces ads, decreases the risk of malware, and enhances privacy. You can see FAQ and other details on the official OISD website.

How to use OISD in OpenBLD.net?

You can use OISD without exclusions, without additional blocklist - just only OISD in OpenBLD.net as DoH link in RIC mode.

See details in Docs. Happy Internet surfing! ✌️
