Numa
DNS you own. Everywhere you go. — numa.rs
A portable DNS resolver in a single binary. Block ads on any network, name your local services ( frontend.numa ), and override any hostname with auto-revert — all from your laptop, no cloud account or Raspberry Pi required.
Built from scratch in Rust. Zero DNS libraries. RFC 1035 wire protocol parsed by hand. Caching, ad blocking, and local service domains out of the box. Optional recursive resolution from root nameservers with full DNSSEC chain-of-trust validation. One ~8MB binary, everything embedded.
