Build your FREE enterprise DNS! PowerDNS = dnsdist + Recursor + Authoritative + @openappsec
Do you want a professional, license-free DNS platform? In this video, I show you how to implement the three free PowerDNS components in a solid architecture:
dnsdist as an entry point (53/UDP, TCP), filtering, and load balancing
Recursor for external queries (root resolution)
Authoritative for your organization's local zones
Everything isolated behind dnsdist for greater security
Dashboards and stats published via Nginx Proxy Manager + Open-AppSec (WAF) + PowerDNS-Admin
🎯 You will learn: flow design (clients → dnsdist → recursor/authoritative), security best practices, dashboard publishing, and how to observe the stack (dnsdist/recursor/authoritative stats).
💼 Ideal for sysadmins, DevOps, and network teams looking for independence, control, and traceability in their DNS.
