TG WS Proxy
Telegram SOCKS5 proxy with WebSocket (WSS) for acceleration and blocki
TG WS Proxy is a lightweight and secure Telegram proxy designed to improve Telegram Desktop performance using a local SOCKS5 proxy with WebSocket (WSS) transport. It helps users bypass network restrictions, firewalls, and ISP throttling while maintaining full end-to-end MTProto encryption. The application runs entirely on the local machine and does not rely on external proxy servers, ensuring privacy and security. TG WS Proxy intelligently intercepts Telegram connections, detects the target data center (DC), and routes traffic through optimized WebSocket connections over TLS. This method improves connection stability and reduces latency, especially in restricted or unstable networks. If WebSocket transport is not available, the proxy automatically falls back to a direct TCP connection, ensuring uninterrupted Telegram access. TG WS Proxy supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, includes both GUI (system tray) and CLI modes, and offers easy setup with Telegram Desktop via SOCKS5 conf -

Blocky
Fast and lightweight DNS proxy as ad-blocker for local network
Blocky is a fast, lightweight DNS proxy and network-wide ad blocker designed for home labs and small networks that want Pi-hole-like filtering with more flexible DNS routing and modern protocol support. It blocks DNS queries using external deny lists while also supporting allow lists, and it can scope policies by client groups so different devices or households can have different rulesets. Unlike a single-purpose blocker, it supports advanced DNS behavior such as conditional forwarding and custom resolution for specific domains, letting you shape traffic in ways that fit split-horizon DNS, internal services, or privacy-focused upstream strategies. Performance is a major focus, with configurable caching, prefetching, and the ability to use multiple upstream resolvers simultaneously to reduce latency and avoid single points of failure. -

CoreDNS
CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins
CoreDNS is a DNS server/forwarder, written in Go, that chains plugins. Each plugin performs a (DNS) function. CoreDNS is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduated project. CoreDNS is a fast and flexible DNS server. The key word here is flexible: with CoreDNS you are able to do what you want with your DNS data by utilizing plugins. If some functionality is not provided out of the box you can add it by writing a plugin. CoreDNS can listen for DNS requests coming in over UDP/TCP (go'old DNS), TLS (RFC 7858), also called DoT, DNS over HTTP/2 - DoH - (RFC 8484) and gRPC (not a standard). Serve zone data from a file; both DNSSEC (NSEC only) and DNS are supported (file and auto). Retrieve zone data from primaries, i.e., act as a secondary server (AXFR only) (secondary). Sign zone data on-the-fly (dnssec). Load balancing of responses (loadbalance). Allow for zone transfers, i.e., act as a primary server (file + transfer). Automatically load zone files from disk (auto). -

ddclient
ddclient updates dynamic DNS entries for accounts
ddclient is a long-standing, Perl-based Dynamic DNS client that keeps DNS records updated when your public IP changes. It supports a wide roster of DNS providers and APIs, allowing both A and AAAA updates so IPv4 and IPv6 hosts remain reachable. The client can discover your current address via network interfaces or external check services, which is crucial for NAT’d home connections. It runs as a daemon or from cron, with configurable intervals, SSL/TLS for provider communication, and robust logging to aid troubleshooting. A single configuration file defines multiple hosts, credentials, and per-record options, making complex setups straightforward. In practice, ddclient turns dynamic residential or small-office internet links into stable hostnames for VPNs, home labs, and self-hosted services. -

Twisted
Event-driven networking engine written in Python
Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. It includes modules for many different purposes. Twisted supports all major system event loops, select (all platforms), poll (most POSIX platforms), epoll (Linux), kqueue (FreeBSD, macOS), IOCP (Windows), and various GUI event loops (GTK+2/3, Qt, wxWidgets). Third-party reactors can plug into Twisted, and provide support for additional event loops. -

ExternalDNS
Configure external DNS servers (AWS Route53, Google CloudDNS and other
ExternalDNS synchronizes exposed Kubernetes Services and Ingresses with DNS providers. Inspired by Kubernetes DNS, Kubernetes' cluster-internal DNS server, ExternalDNS makes Kubernetes resources discoverable via public DNS servers. Like KubeDNS, it retrieves a list of resources (Services, Ingresses, etc.) from the Kubernetes API to determine the desired list of DNS records. Unlike KubeDNS, however, it's not a DNS server itself, but merely configures other DNS providers accordingly, e.g. AWS Route 53 or Google Cloud DNS. In a broader sense, ExternalDNS allows you to control DNS records dynamically via Kubernetes resources in a DNS provider-agnostic way. ExternalDNS' allows you to keep selected zones (via domain-filter) synchronized with Ingresses and Services of type=LoadBalancer in various cloud providers. ExternalDNS can become aware of the records it is managing therefore ExternalDNS can safely manage non-empty hosted zones. -

KeexyBox
The box to keep the Internet under your control
KeexyBox allows you to do parental control, block ads, limit telemetry, and browse the Internet anonymously from your home network without installing any software on your devices. It also can be used to create a public wireless access point with the captive portal. It is a software program which requires a Raspberry PI box and which is installed on Raspbian. It constitutes a cut-off point between your devices (computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.) and your router or Internet box. KeexyBox acts as a default gateway and DNS server for the devices in your home network. It thus intercepts all connections to the Internet to carry out website filtering or to activate browsing via the Tor anonymity network according to connection profiles which you have configured. -
