+# New DNS server!
+
+I was fucking about with my DNS resolver to hopefully speed things up by a few milliseconds, and it gave me the idea to create my own DNS resolver!
+
+## Why?
+
+- There are no good, reliable, high speed DNS resolvers in Canada
+- They all have snake oil ad-blocking bullshit built in
+
+## How?
+
+I'm just using `dnsmasq` for this. My upstream DNS server is `8.8.8.8` and `4.4.4.4` as fallback (this is Google's DNS)
+
+Some of you might find it stupid to use Google's DNS, but trust me, it's the best out there. There are virtually no ratelimits, and surprisingly no censorship. OpenDNS/Cloudflare are either slow or censors specific hosts. One that comes to mind are archive.today domains under Cloudflare.
+
+There is caching enabled, so for already resolved domains the lookups should be really really fast if you live close to my server. 4get uses this DNS resolver; since I started using it I've had no issues. I also use it on my local machine, and here too, no issues.
+
+This DNS server shares the same concept as 4get: the more people use it, the more anonymous it gets!
+
+## Use it
+
+Edit `/etc/resolv.conf` and add this line at the top of the file
+
+```
+nameserver 51.79.70.119
+```
+
+And that's it!
