🌌 Private and safe DNS server is here!
🕑 Added 2023-03-20 21:10:34 +0000 UTCA private and secure DNS server is now available for all supporters. You can share the IP address provided in this post with your friends 😻. By changing it on your computer, you can avoid being banned in Genshin Impact and other games!
I decided to switch servers because I previously had one that was expiring in the first half of April. The new one expires on April 20, 2023. I'll treat this month as a trial version. If you like it, consider purchasing the "Very safe cat 🌍" tier. After a month, the server will become inactive, and translating domain names to IP addresses will no longer be possible. You'll need to remove the previously provided IP in the control panel to regain full internet access. Unfortunately, it won't be secure anymore.
I cannot guarantee that the current DNS server will be available at all times. There may be temporary issues or other technical problems, such as maintenance. Therefore, if you want reliable internet access, use CloudFlare DNS (1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1) as an alternative. Although I do not recommend it, as you won't know when you're protected or not.
If you live outside of Europe, domain name translation to IP addresses may take longer because DNS is responsible for it.
Here is a list of things that will be blocked:
1. Blocking Mihoyo telemetry domains
2. Blocking known domains associated with internet abuse or harassment.
3. Blocking domains known to publish false or misleading information.
4. Blocking domains promoting hate speech or spreading false information.
5. Blocking domains that distribute malicious software through ads.
6. Blocking domains known to host or distribute malware.
7. Blocking domains involved in phishing attempts.
8. Blocking domains involved in ransomware attacks.
9. Blocking domains that redirect users to unintended websites.
10. Blocking domains known to promote scams or fraudulent activities.
11. Blocking domains that send unwanted email messages.
12. Blocking domains that distribute spyware or adware.
13. Blocking domains that track user activity without their consent.
14. Blocking domains that display ads on YouTube and mobile devices. And so on!
I would also like to add that the security measures do not end there, as the server is additionally equipped with the Unbound package.

How can I check if I've correctly changed the DNS?
Simply visit the website dnstest.sefinek.net or dnstest.sefinek.workers.dev. If you've made the change correctly, these websites should not work for you.
If you want to find out how many domains have been blocked from your computer, or how many requests your computer has sent to the server, please contact me. Personally, I think it's worth knowing these things - out of curiosity."
Pi-hole is a network-level ad blocker that blocks ads before they can reach your device. It works by acting as a DNS sinkhole and filtering out unwanted content, such as advertisements and tracking scripts, before they even reach your device.
Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver that helps prevent DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks. It works by validating DNS responses using DNSSEC, which ensures that the response came from the authoritative DNS server and has not been tampered with.
Using a private and secure DNS server like this one can help protect your online privacy and security by blocking malicious domains, preventing tracking and surveillance. It can also improve your browsing experience by blocking ads and unwanted content.
So, it's definitely worth considering using it.
