OpenBLD, Onehost.kz 2026

Under the hood: IPv6, AMD EPYC™, DDR4, NVMe SSD storage, and a high-speed network. A strong candidate for passing OpenBLD’s stress test.

Last year, Onehost.kz supported the OpenBLD project by providing a VPS server in Almaty. Since then, the infrastructure has demonstrated stable 99.99% uptime, with no noticeable overselling or system freezes.

zBLD vs. DGA — Detecting Algorithmically Generated Domains

OpenBLD zBLD detection algorithm blocking DGA-generated domains

Malware and botnets use Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA) to generate hundreds or thousands of short-lived domains for communication with command-and-control infrastructure.

An attack example from real OpenBLD logs:

  • s-dfgfd-sdfz...zdssragv[.]mom
  • 96bccebb2f7e...wu7y6z[.]com
  • 60r...60pg0131[.]cc
  • and billions of similar domains.

Why are DGA domains harmful?

Beyond their malicious purpose, this chaotic DNS traffic pollutes resolver caches, increases CPU and I/O usage, and generates large volumes of low-value logs. At scale, it can cause higher resource consumption and degraded DNS performance.

🚀 OpenBLD.net — Independent DNS Ecosystem

We’ve become used to relying on DNS from Google, Cloudflare, and other large public DNS providers.

They are fast, convenient, and easy to use. But in the age of AI, large-scale data aggregation, and user profiling, convenience should not come at the cost of privacy.

OpenBLD.net takes a different path.

We are building an independent DNS ecosystem designed to reduce dependency on centralized DNS providers and give users more control over how their DNS traffic is resolved, filtered, and protected.
