Rejector.ru - Russian OpenDNS

Article posted at the request of LMik . If you have any questions, he will be happy to answer them.


In the light of recent events, namely the launch of Google DNS, I remembered a project abandoned “to the best of times”, conceived about a year ago. He was inspired by the idea of ​​a foreign service OpenDNS.

I present to your attention "Rejector" - http://rejector.ru .
')
This is a smart DNS service with a number of advanced, customizable features. Its goal is to help you effortlessly set up filtering and protection of your traffic, speed up the response time of sites and facilitate access to the Internet for inexperienced users.
Of course, we are not Google, and we can’t get IP that can be remembered at a glance, but we can provide certain services to our users:

- filters by category;
- personal access lists (black and white);
- bookmarks or short names;
- correction of incorrect input of addresses;
- filtering phishing domains;
- statistics of all requests made;
- as well as DNS-based services that you can come up with and tell us.

Filters by category.

Each existing domain in our database may fall into one or several categories (social networks, cars, file exchangers, etc.). Our base is still quite small and has about 500,000 domains. We hope for the active help of our users in its replenishment.

There are 44 categories of domains and so far only 5 preset access groups - safe, office, children, non-blocking and individual. In the individual group, you can select categories manually.

Personal access lists.

Everything is clear: you can deny or allow access to a specific domain. The number is not limited. Filtering by masks is not yet available, added to TODO.

Bookmarks or short names.

This service allows you to convert a short site name to any URL. For example: access to the address http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/startup/ on the short name startup .

Works at the level of HTTP redirects, i.e. It’s not possible to match your short name with an IP address. Add to TODO.

Correction of incorrect input addresses.

Entering the "rfikukg" in the address bar and going to this address, you will automatically get to the page where you will be informed about the error and offer the correct option. Provided that this domain does not exist in the Cyrillic representation, of course. Also requests are checked in “punycode” encoding.

An invalid query is reversed in the layout, and also sent to Google search. Correction works without registration.

Filtering phishing domains.

The database on fraudulent sites is updated once an hour using the PhishTank service. If you select the Phishing category, all requests for fraudulent sites will be denied.

Statistics of all requests made.

All sent requests are saved for your analysis in the following sections: Correct, Invalid, and Blocked. For the report, you can choose any time period times the day.

Other issues

About retracker.local

The excitement is clear. I think you can handle this and give the correct address depending on the network of the source of the request, or an advanced user can manually register the address in the access lists. "Recognition retreker for local networks" already in TODO. Hopefully, the network administrators, whom we will not add ourselves, will contact us to add their ranges.

Dynamic Client IP Addresses

If you have a dynamic IP address, then using our service will be somewhat problematic. The fact is that in Russia static addresses “by default” are given by a very rare provider. There is an idea of ​​a client tray application that updates information about the current client IP when the address is changed. At the moment, when changing the IP address, you will have to update it in the service settings.

OpenDNS users dedicated

- Our servers are in Russia.
- Our databases are focused on Russian-language resources.
- The request cache is mostly filled with Russian-language resources.
- Any services available in OpenDNS are ready to be implemented.

About development

If the service is of great interest to users, we promise in the foreseeable future to expand the number of servers distributed geographically, as well as the range of services provided.

In TODO:

- Accesists for masks;
- bookmarks without redirect (bookmark mapping to IP and not to the URL);
- recognition of retreker for local networks;
- dynamic IP;
- your suggestions.
