Technitium DNS Server v13 Released!

I am happy to announce the release of Technitium DNS Server v13, a cross-platform, free, open source software that can be used by anyone, be it a novice or an expert user. It features an easy to use web based GUI and works with default config that allows the server to run out-of-the-box.

Technitium DNS Server v13

This major release adds support for Catalog Zones which allows automatic DNS zone provisioning to one or more secondary name servers. This allows you to have clustering support for the Zones section of the DNS server where you can add Primary, Stub, or Conditional Forwarder zone to a catalog and their respective secondary zones would get automatically provisioned on all the secondary DNS server running Secondary Catalog zone for the same catalog.

Another exciting update is with the recursive resolver that now supports concurrency allowing it to query more than one name server at a time. The resolver will select the fastest, DNSSEC validating response, and use it for further processing. The resolver also implements latency based name server selection algorithm that will measure latency and always select the fastest name server or forwarder. Both these concurrency and latency based server selection combined has significantly improved resolution performance.

Read the change log to know full details about this latest update.

  1. Hi There is this DNS Service still being supported? Your Websites do not work and your App Store does not work either? Technitium website appears to be dead?

    1. Thanks for asking. The project is in active development. The website is working fine with not issues. Please check you network for any connectivity issues. If you have ipv6 connection then try to disable it and see if the website works over ipv4. Contact your ISP if the issue persists.

    2. I used technitium and i was amazed, the only thing that i don't understand is why virus total, and other similar sites detected as suspicious, can you elaborate on this matter? I'm using pi hole v6 on WSL 2 + Cloudflare in windows 11, i found your tools more useful for being native, and easier to set up. but this matter is concerning for me.

    3. The binaries provided by Technitium are not digitally signed which is why some of the antivirus software have issues with the installer. The digital signing certificates are quite expensive so its not been done till now. This is planned to be done soon though.
