All it really requires is opening up port 53 to the internet but I don't know enough about securing a DNS server to take that step yet. I'm intending to continue working on my little offshoot and hopefully it will get to the point you could safely host it on digitalocean/aws/etc.

We'll be adding more info when we prep things for a wider consumer release. We are working to learn as much as we can and are looking forward to everyone's feedback!

Features I'd like:

- reports on who my device(s) are contacting

- no technical capability for anyone else to access those reports

- import block lists from browser extensions / hosts lists etc

- set my own forwarders

- browser extensions so I can see what's blocked, unblock stuff, pause blocking etc, maybe an app on my phone could provide the same functionality

Mostly this is about extending your umbrella to cover privacy/malware, I don't really differentiate anymore between the different flavors of crap websites embed to make the internet more annoying and less safe.

Thanks for the suggestions!
