CLUSTER DNS-HOSTED-OVER · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-13

Self-hosted ad-blocking DNS resolvers

This cluster consists of self-hosted DNS resolvers that block ads and trackers while supporting encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only one entry exists before the index start, so the cluster's early timeline is essentially undated. Among the traction leaders, NexoralDNS stands out with 2 stars, followed by blocky-dns-UI and FLOXIN-NET with 1 star each.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
