About

Numa is a portable, single-binary DNS resolver built from scratch in Rust that runs locally on your machine. It combines ad blocking, caching, DNSSEC validation, local .numa domains for development services, and a REST API for scripting and automation. It requires no cloud account, no Raspberry Pi, and no complex setup.

Problem

DNS resolvers are centralized points of control that log all your queries, while existing local DNS tools are either too complex or require dedicated hardware.

For

developers and privacy-conscious users who want local DNS control

How it works

A single portable Rust binary acts as a local DNS resolver that processes queries through a deterministic pipeline covering overrides, blocklists, caching, recursive resolution, and DNSSEC validation.
