DN 💲- DNS Resolver with Advertisements 💰 💸 💵

Tired of companies snooping through your DNS traffic? Don't you wish you could get advertisements with your DNS records?

We're introducing the innovative, privacy-focused, ad-supported DNS resolver - DN$! Traditional DNS resolvers provided by your internet service provider, cloudflare, or google could be tracking your internet activity and selling it to third-party data vendors. Those vendors will repackage and resell your information to the government or Facebook Meta.

The team at DN$ wants to fix that and cut out these nefarious actors... until we've amassed a critical number of users to exploit.

In order to support such a radically new business model, our service needs to serve adverts because $INSERT_FAKE_REASONS.

Fortunately, we offer a lifetime subscription of DN$ for customers to see reduced ads¹!

Open source and built in rust - our software is secure and blazingly fast because it is open source and built in rust. Our backend is based on a monolith, microservice, modular monolith $NEW_DEVELOPER_FAD. Rather than hijacking NXDOMAINs in the old, boring ways²³, we've innovated the DNS by adding sponsorships to almost all our DNS responses. Moreover, we've eschewed "RFCs" and "backwards compatability" for the sake of progress. Did I mention that it's built in rust therefore it's safe and fast?

As a corporate entity, our executives are not liable for prison time and will probably only be fined small financial penalties for any serious crimes we commit. However, we promise that we are NOT doing anything nefarious like tracking and selling your user data and internet behavior⁴. We will also not be using the data (we are not collecting 😉 ) to train AI models to make ourselves rich.

April 2nd 2024 Update: THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED

Due to several lawsuits and criminal investigations, DN$ needs to shutdown. Source code to setup your own DN$ resolver is here.
