PowerDNS has announced the launch of DNSdist 1.8, a router-ready version of their DNSdist software, enabling CPE (customer premise equipment) manufacturers and solution providers to offer improved security and encrypted DNS capabilities on routers for the first time.
This development is expected to help protect the confidentiality and integrity of traffic in the ‘first mile’ of internet access and provide an extra level of security for end-users. Additionally, DNSdist 1.8 is now available for the open-source router-designated operating system OpenWrt, allowing it to run on hardware with the most limited RAM, storage, and CPU footprint.
Bob Brandt, VP Engineering at PowerDNS, commented: “Making DNSdist ‘router-ready’ was no small feat and we’re excited about the possibilities it opens up. We firmly believe that DNSdist will become an invaluable tool to have on routers, which will also help further drive the adoption of encrypted DNS and help deliver a safer internet experience for consumers.”

The launch of DNSdist 1.8 is expected to make efficient use of the resources within the ‘lower-spec’ devices typically provided as routers and provide additional capabilities such as scripting, rate-limiting, and caching, plus DNS-based security filtering closer to the end-user.
