🚀 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 ⚰️

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 ✌️

OpenBLD.net outperformed AdGuard, Cloudflare, Quad9 in blocking malware domains!

Background​

Some time ago, OpenBLD.net was added to the URLhaus project. URLhaus is a project operated by abuse.ch with the goal of sharing and preventing malicious URLs that are being used for malware distribution.

The ecosystem of the service, based on the philosophy of blocking internet noise, has demonstrated excellent protection against malicious domains and intrusive ads. 💪

What now​

According to URLhaus statistics, OpenBLD.net surpasses giants like AdGuard, Cloudflare, and Quad9 in blocking malware and unwanted domains. 🛡️

OpenBLD.net doesn't just offer protection - it creates a sense of security for your online space.

Your donations and sponsorship can help us become even better and ensure the stable development of the service.
