Challenge
DNS tooling often forces a compromise between privacy, speed, and implementation simplicity. Volex DNS was built to push a lightweight resolver toward very fast real-world response times without bloated architecture.

Systems & Infrastructure
Volex DNS
The Fastest DNS Server in the Local Universe. High-performance, caching DoT (DNS over TLS) forwarder customized for speed and privacy.
GoDNSPrivacyPerformance
Build approach
I focused on parallel upstream querying, DNS-over-TLS, in-memory caching, and low-overhead Go concurrency so the server can race providers, return the fastest answer, and stay efficient on local hardware.
Outcome
Volex DNS is a compact but technically credible networking project. It reinforces the portfolio with protocol-level work, concurrency, and performance-sensitive infrastructure engineering.
Additional Information
Features Race Mode (queries multiple upstreams in parallel), in-memory caching with configurable TTLs, and a secure DoT architecture.
