DNS Servers

DNS stands for Domain Name System. A DNS server makes it so that we can access websites by their URL instead of remembering IP addresses.

DNS sinkholing is the practice of directing domains to a non-existent IP or to the local machine's IP.

I run one Aguard Home (Adguard Home is a forwarding server) instance that is open.

It blocks ads, and a variety of other services including porn.

It keeps client IPs and stats for 24 hours.

My blocklists are public.

I have DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, and regular DNS enabled.

dns.andrewnw.xyz uses its own Unbound DNS server.

The URL for DNS-over-HTTPS is:

https://dns.andrewnw.xyz/dns-query

The URL for DNS-over-TLS is:

tls://dns.andrewnw.xyz:853

The IP is

135.181.83.162
