API + MCP

Configure DNS from code, CI, or your AI editor.

Every setting is a REST endpoint or an MCP tool. The dashboard is read-only on purpose — config changes have to be versionable, diff-able, and auditable.

106 REST operations
api.olladns.com · OpenAPI 3.1 with x-required-scopes · auth via JWT or scoped API key.
94 MCP tools
mcp.olladns.com · auto-generated from OpenAPI via FastMCP. Connect Claude, Cursor, Continue, Goose, any MCP client.
16 granular scopes
Mint a read-only key for your SIEM, a write key for CI, a tool-specific key per AI agent. Revoke independently.
HMAC-signed webhooks
Every audit event fans out to your SIEM. SHA-256 signed bodies, timestamp + replay protection, wildcard event subscriptions.

Per-device identification

Every lookup tagged to the device that made it.

Register a device, get its unique DoH URL. AGH writes the device suffix into every query log row, so every analytics endpoint can answer "which device looked up X?"

Unique DoH URL per device
dns.olladns.com/dns-query/<tenant>--<slug> — point your laptop, your phone, your router each at their own.
Device-level analytics
"Top devices by queries" tile + every other aggregate slice-able by device slug.
Last-seen telemetry
First-seen / last-seen timestamps surface roaming gaps and ghost devices.
Query Log

Forensic visibility, streaming live.

A high-throughput record of every DNS lookup on your network — searchable in milliseconds, exportable in seconds.

Live tail
Pause, scroll, filter — the stream waits for you. Up to 50k events/sec per tenant without dropping rows.
Click into any row
See the resolver, the device, the matched rule, the AI confidence, and the policy chain that produced the verdict.
Long retention
90 days hot, 13 months cold. Hot search returns in <500ms across 4B events.

AI Detection

Two classifiers you can actually inspect.

No vendor feeds and no black box. Both classifiers are transparent by design, so when a domain is flagged you can see the reason — and disagree with it.

Typosquat
Damerau-Levenshtein distance and homoglyph substitution against a protect-list of your own domains. Catches Cyrillic lookalikes and single-character swaps.
DGA & algorithmic C2
Statistical n-gram + entropy classifier. Blocks malware command-and-control even when the hostname has never been seen.
Shadow AI discovery
Surfaces AI tools in use on your network from a curated catalogue, and separates what is worth knowing about from what is safe to block.
Policies

Filtering rules that map to humans, not IPs.

Build policies from 80+ content categories, custom block/allow lists, schedules, and threat sources. Assign them to sites, groups, or individual devices.

80+ curated categories
From phishing & malware to streaming & social. Each updated continuously by our research team.
Identity-aware
Sync from Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace. Engineering gets dev tools, Finance gets locked down.
Time-of-day & geofenced rules
Strict during business hours, looser after. Different policies for office vs roaming networks.
Branded block page
Your logo, your support contact, your messaging. Reduce helpdesk tickets to almost zero.

Threat Intel v2

Inline classifiers + curated blocklists. No vendor magic.

Two transparent classifiers run at ingest, with zero per-query vendor cost: a DGA scorer (entropy + ngram + vowel-ratio features) and a typosquat detector (Damerau-Levenshtein ≤ 2 with homoglyph normalization). Stacked on a curated catalog of 30 community blocklists that you opt into per-tenant.

DGA classifier
~280 LoC

Feature-based scoring (entropy, character n-grams, vowel ratio). Surfaces via /analytics/top-dga; tunable threshold (default 0.7). No auto-block by default — flagged for review.

Typosquat detector
~230 LoC

Damerau-Levenshtein distance ≤ 2 after homoglyph normalization (Cyrillic 'а'→Latin 'a', etc.). Length-band pruning keeps the per-query cost bounded. Catches g00gle.com, githab.com, paypa1.com.

Blocklist catalog
60 lists

Curated community blocklists across 15 categories: phishing, malware, ads, NRD, DGA, NSFW, gambling, telemetry, AI scrapers, bypass-bypass (Tor + DoH), regional (IN/RU/JP/CN/PL), and more. Per-tenant subscriptions reconciled to AGH automatically every 5 minutes.

Catalog includes
Hagezi Pro (ads) OISD Big (general) URLhaus (malware) ThreatFox (malware) Phishing Army Extended OpenPhish Disconnect Tracking EasyPrivacy Hagezi NRDs (30d) Suspicious TLDs Hagezi DoH bypass Tor exit nodes +18 more
Allowlist-only mode

For when "block what's bad" isn't strict enough.

Per-tenant default-deny toggle flips resolution from blocklist to allowlist: nothing resolves unless explicitly permitted. The Fortune-500-healthcare / SCIF / kiosk mode. Layered under existing per-tenant allow entries.

Protect-list

Per-tenant brand defense.

Push your owned domains (yourcompany.com, internal-tool.com) to /policies/protect-list. The typosquat detector scores incoming queries against your list — catches phishing campaigns built around your specific brand within minutes of the first DNS lookup.

Audit + Webhooks

Every change attributed. Every event delivered.

Every API mutation writes an audit-log row tagged with the actor (human session or specific agent token). Every audit event can fan out to your SIEM via HMAC-signed webhook.

Actor-attributed audit
Each row carries actor_type + user_id or api_key_id. Filter by humans, by agents, by system actions.
Per-tenant retention
1–365 days, configurable. Pair with per-tenant logs anonymization for GDPR / DPDP setups that need to drop client IPs at ingest.
Wildcard webhook events
Subscribe to policy.*, threat.*, device.create, or *. Bodies HMAC-SHA256 signed; timestamp header for replay protection.
CSV / NDJSON export
/analytics/export for ad-hoc pulls into your data lake.

Privacy controls

Per-tenant levers for GDPR, DPDP, HIPAA, FERPA.

Client-IP anonymization

Flip log_anonymize_clients per tenant; the AGH-to-ClickHouse poller drops source IPs at ingest. Analytics still slice by device slug — privacy without losing device-level visibility.

Configurable retention

Per-tenant log_retention_days from 1 to 365. ClickHouse TTL is applied at partition rotation. Default 30; healthcare tenants typically choose 90; a few choose 1.

Bypass-bypass blocklists

Subscribe to the Hagezi DoH-bypass and Tor-exit catalog entries to block users from circumventing your DNS filter via third-party encrypted resolvers.
