Versions:
Texnomic SecureDNS Terminal is a cross-platform DNS server application built with C# 8.0 and .NET Core 3.1, engineered to provide secure and modern domain name resolution across diverse hardware architectures and operating systems. Released in version 0.3 by Texnomic, the software targets network administrators, privacy-focused users, and developers who need a lightweight yet fully-featured alternative to traditional DNS resolvers. Its architecture-agnostic design allows deployment on Windows, Linux, and macOS without recompilation, while the use of contemporary .NET Core libraries ensures high throughput, low memory footprint, and native integration with modern security protocols such as DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS. Typical use cases include setting up a private recursive resolver inside corporate intranets to prevent data leakage, hardening home networks against DNS spoofing, or embedding a secure resolver within containerized micro-service stacks. Because the server is terminal-based, it can be launched as a background service, scripted through configuration files, and monitored via structured logs, making it suitable for both interactive troubleshooting and unattended operation. The single public release, version 0.3, already exposes core server logic, pluggable middleware for custom filtering, and an internal cache that respects TTL values to minimize upstream queries. As a networking tool that falls under the “Servers – DNS” category, Texnomic SecureDNS Terminal continues to attract early adopters who value open standards, modern cryptography, and minimal deployment friction. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
