Mafaza DNS Server

A server for blocking adult content, ads, music, movies...etc.

Install

setup

first, see the dns-init repository to setup the server

the define.sh script should automaticly clone all dns-server repos to the server, if it didn't for some reason, run the update.sh script from the dns-init repository manually

ip confirmation

second, make sure to confirm the ip address of the server you are using, for more details on how to do it, check the dns-ip-confirm repository on how to do that programaticly

this step runs only once if you're using static ip addresses

run the server

Finally: to run the server, run the following command, this should run the server in a tmux session, if you want to check on it you can run tmux attach. to detach from tmux without losing the running server press ctrl + B then release then press D

./run.sh

monitoring

monitoring the server from the outside is a must, and we also offer monitoring from the inside of the server, the dns-check repository contains the scripts and logic responsible for monitoring the server from the inside and run the server automaticly if the server caught offline

Updating

if you used the dns-init scripts a crontab job should be automaticly added to update the server every certain period of time
