Self-hosted DNS server with ad blocking and DoH support

A self-hosted DNS server that grew an enterprise identity layer.

◆Current state
Technitium shipped its v15 line in April 2026 and has been iterating on it steadily since, with four point releases in under three months. The defining change was Single Sign-On via OpenID Connect, and nearly every release after it has gone back to sand down that same surface — SSO scopes, SSO implementation fixes, new Settings options. Release notes are thin pointers to a CHANGELOG file, so the granular detail lives outside the feed.
◆Where it's heading
The work is consolidating around administration and access control rather than DNS resolution itself. A self-hosted DNS server adding OIDC and scope configuration is positioning for multi-admin and organizational deployments, not the single-operator homelab it started in. The steady cadence of small Settings additions suggests configuration surface is being expanded on user request rather than to a fixed roadmap.
◆Prediction
Expect continued hardening of the SSO path and more granular Settings options in the v15.x line. The entries don't indicate what a v16 would contain.

    Technitium DNS Server v15.3 Released!

    The largest of the v15 point releases by the project's own description — many new Settings options plus bug and security fixes. It reinforces that post-v15 effort is going into administrative configuration depth.

    Technitium DNS Server v15.1 Released!

    Adds configurable SSO scopes, the first follow-up to the v15 identity work. Scope configuration is what makes OIDC usable against a real identity provider rather than a demo setup.

    SSO via OpenID Connect arrives in v15

    ⚡ SPARK

    The v15 major release added Single Sign-On via OpenID Connect and fixed multiple internally discovered and reported vulnerabilities. It set the agenda for every release that followed — the four subsequent point releases all return to SSO or Settings.
