Olladns: API-First DNS Security, Filtering & Threat Protection

DNS is one of the earliest points where organizations can identify and block malicious activity. Modern security teams need more than basic DNS resolution—they need visibility, policy controls, threat protection, and an efficient way to manage DNS infrastructure.

Olladns is an API-first and MCP-native DNS security and filtering platform designed for teams that want to manage DNS policies through code, automation, and AI-powered tools.

What Is Olladns?

Olladns provides programmable DNS resolution, security, filtering, and management.

The platform can inspect DNS requests, apply security and filtering policies, block malicious domains, resolve legitimate requests, and provide visibility into DNS activity.

Instead of making the dashboard the primary configuration interface, Olladns is designed around APIs and automation. Teams can configure policies through REST APIs, CI pipelines, and MCP-compatible AI tools.

Key Features

DNS Security

Olladns can help block threats including phishing domains, malware, command-and-control infrastructure, DGA domains, and brand typosquats at the DNS layer.

API-First DNS Management

DNS policies and infrastructure can be managed programmatically through REST APIs. This allows engineering and security teams to version, automate, test, and deploy DNS configuration through their existing workflows.

MCP-Native

Olladns provides MCP tools that allow compatible AI clients and development environments to interact with DNS infrastructure.

Teams can connect AI tools such as Claude, Cursor, Continue, or other MCP clients and use scoped permissions for DNS operations.

DNS Filtering

Organizations can create custom allow and block rules, apply category filtering, use allowlist-only policies, configure DNS rewrites, and apply other policy controls to DNS traffic.

Query Logging and Analytics

Olladns provides searchable DNS query logs and analytics for understanding network activity. Query data can be filtered, exported, and used with security and monitoring workflows.

Per-Device DNS Visibility

Devices can receive unique DoH URLs, allowing DNS queries to be associated with individual devices. This can provide additional visibility when investigating network activity.

Security and Audit Controls

Olladns supports scoped API keys, actor-attributed audit logs, encrypted DNS through DoH, DNSSEC validation, TLS 1.3, and tenant isolation.

Why Use Olladns?

Traditional DNS security products often rely heavily on graphical administration consoles. Olladns takes a different approach by making APIs and automation central to DNS configuration.

Teams can integrate DNS policies with infrastructure-as-code workflows, CI/CD pipelines, security operations, and AI-assisted development environments.

This can make DNS configuration more versionable, repeatable, and auditable.

Who Is Olladns For?

Olladns can be useful for:

  • Security teams

  • DevOps teams

  • SRE teams

  • Network and infrastructure engineers

  • SOC teams

  • AI-native engineering teams

  • Organizations managing DNS policies across multiple devices

  • Teams looking for programmable DNS security

Use Cases

Security Filtering

Block malicious and unwanted domains before devices establish connections to them.

Policy as Code

Manage DNS policies through APIs and CI workflows instead of relying entirely on manual dashboard configuration.

AI-Assisted DNS Management

Give authorized AI agents scoped access to DNS operations through MCP-compatible tooling.

Security Operations

Use DNS query logs, threat detections, and audit events as part of broader security monitoring workflows.

Network Visibility

Analyze DNS activity by tenant and device to understand how systems are using the network.
