leng - a fast DNS server with adblocking, built for self-hosting, deployable with a NixOS module (github.com)

A few months ago I went on a quest for a DNS server and was dissatisfied with current maintained projects. They were either good at adblocking (Blocky, grimd…) or good at specifying custom DNS (CoreDNS…).

So I forked grimd and embarked on rewriting a good chunk of it for it to address my needs - the result is leng.

it is fast
it is small
it is easy
you can specify blocklists and it will fetch them for you
you can specify custom DNS records with proper zone file syntax (SRV records, etc)
it supports DNS-over-HTTPS so you can stay private

I just released a new version which includes full NixOS support via a module! ❄
