🚫 Nox Block — Self-Hosted DNS Blocking With Context
Most DNS blockers answer one question:
"Is this domain blocked?"
Nox Block answers a different one:
"Why did I block this domain in the first place?"
Nox Block provides a centralized dashboard for managing domain blocking across AdGuard Home, Pi-hole, and NextDNS from a single interface. Every blocked domain can include categories, notes, and reasoning, so months later you're not staring at a mysterious entry wondering what past-you was thinking.
Features include:
âś… AdGuard Home, Pi-hole, and NextDNS integration
âś… Domain categorization and explainable blocking
âś… Bookmarklet for quickly capturing sites while browsing
âś… Analytics and reporting
âś… Browser extension support for clean HTTPS/HSTS-safe blocking
âś… Temporary unlocks and distraction management (in development)
âś… Fully self-hosted
âś… No cloud dependency
âś… No subscriptions
âś… No telemetry
The goal isn't to replace your DNS provider.
The goal is to make your DNS policies understandable, intentional, and manageable.

I'd love feedback from anyone running a homelab, self-hosting services, or managing DNS filtering in their environment.
