Your sovereign DNS, no ads or trackers
A complete DNS server with ad/malware blocking and encryption, powered by Technitium and hosted by DINAO. Private resolution in France, without handing your DNS queries over to American tech giants.
What is Technitium DNS Server?
Technitium DNS Server is an open-source, self-hosted DNS server that is both authoritative and recursive, focused on privacy and network-wide ad and malware blocking. It is a significantly more feature-complete alternative to Pi-hole regarding DNS functions, giving administrators full control over resolution.
It supports encrypted DNS (DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-QUIC), multi-algorithm DNSSEC validation, block lists, multi-instance clustering, an integrated DHCP server, a DNS client, a web console (with dark mode), an HTTP API, and two-factor authentication. It covers everything from home networks to enterprise infrastructure.
Technically, Technitium is written in C# / .NET, with a very low memory footprint (it runs comfortably even on a Raspberry Pi). Hosted by DINAO in France, it ensures that your DNS queries and logs are never entrusted to a public American resolver — sovereignty down to the core of your network.

Technical details
You might be wondering…
How is this different from Pi-hole?
Technitium performs ad/malware blocking like Pi-hole, but it is a complete DNS server: authoritative and recursive, with DNSSEC, encrypted DNS (DoT/DoH/DoQ), DHCP, and clustering — far more than a simple blocker.
Do my DNS queries remain private?
Yes. Hosted by DINAO in France, your server resolves queries itself and encrypts them (DoT/DoH/DoQ): they are not entrusted to a public American resolver.
Can I manage my own zones?
Yes. In authoritative mode, you host your own DNS zones, with DNSSEC validation. The integrated DHCP server complements your network management.
How do I configure my devices?
Point your devices or network to your Technitium DNS server. DINAO provides the settings (clear or encrypted DoT/DoH) and supports you.
Do I need technical skills?
Administration is done via a clear web console. DINAO handles installation, encryption, and updates; a network team can operate the API and clustering.
