DNS security usually becomes painful when every small policy change requires opening another dashboard, clicking through menus, and hoping nobody forgets what changed.

That is the problem olladns is trying to solve.

olladns is an API-first DNS filtering platform built for teams that prefer code, automation, and AI agents over click-heavy administration. You can block phishing, malware C2, DGA domains, and brand typosquats directly at the DNS layer while keeping configuration versionable and auditable.

What makes it interesting is the developer-first approach. With its REST API and MCP tools, teams can manage DNS policies from CI/CD pipelines or connect tools such as Claude and Cursor to automate security workflows. The developer platform gives engineers granular API scopes, audit logs, webhooks, and policy-as-code capabilities.

It is also designed for different environments, from MSPs and MSSPs to enterprises, schools, healthcare organizations, and small businesses. The solutions show how the same DNS security model can be adapted to different operational needs.

Another useful point is transparency. olladns openly publishes its current product state, limitations, and roadmap instead of pretending to be a finished enterprise giant. That makes it worth watching for teams looking for a more programmable approach to DNS security.

If you're evaluating the cost, you can check the pricing and see how olladns positions its plans. And if you're comparing DNS filtering platforms, the comparison page provides a useful starting point for looking at olladns alongside alternatives such as NextDNS and ControlD.

For developers and security teams who want DNS security to behave more like infrastructure than another SaaS dashboard, olladns is an interesting product to keep on the radar.
