MoatDNS Join the waitlist
Early access waitlist

A DNS filter that's actually maintained.

MoatDNS blocks ads, trackers and malware on every device you own. It has the rules engine, logs and pause controls power users keep asking for, and support that answers.

Why switch

The features people have been asking for, built first.

We read years of forum threads and feature requests. These are the ones that kept coming up, and they're where MoatDNS starts.

Rules that bend

Wildcard and regex rules like *.ggpht.com. Allowlist a subdomain of a blocked domain and it actually works.

Pause, then auto-resume

Turn filtering off for 15 minutes or an hour, for one device or everyone. It comes back on by itself.

Logs you can act on

Allow or block straight from an entry. Filter by "not blocked by", by protocol, or hide noisy domains.

Any blocklist, by URL

Add HaGeZi, OISD or your own list by link. Share allow and deny lists across every profile.

Your block response

Choose NXDOMAIN, REFUSED or 0.0.0.0 per profile, so blocked requests fail the way your network expects.

Built in the open

A public changelog and roadmap, and support emails answered by the people who build it.

Switching

Bring your NextDNS setup with you.

Rebuilding years of allowlist tweaks by hand is why most people never switch. We'll do it for you.

  1. Connect your account

    Paste your NextDNS API key. We only read your configuration.

  2. We import everything

    Profiles, blocklists, allow and deny entries, and settings come across as they are.

  3. Point your devices

    Swap the DNS address on your router or devices. Your rules are already waiting.

One-click import is planned for launch.
