Bancuh DNS

Quick start

Bancuh DNS works by answering your device’s DNS lookups. When something asks for an ad server, tracker or blocked site, the answer is a dead end and it never loads. Everything else resolves normally.

To use it, you point your device or router at a Bancuh server instead of your internet provider’s DNS. Nothing needs to be installed.

  1. Pick the location closest to you.

    Closer servers answer faster. Your choice here is remembered on every setup page.

  2. Pick how you want to set it up.

    Setting it on your router covers every device at home. Setting it on a phone or laptop covers that device everywhere, including on mobile data and other people’s Wi-Fi.

    Linux systemd-resolved (DoT) That machine Yes

  3. Follow the guide for your device.

  4. Check that it works.

    Browse for a minute, then open the query logs for your server. If you can see your own lookups, you’re connected. You can also look up a known ad domain such as zedo.com: through Bancuh DNS it returns 0.0.0.0.
