FAQs
Why use ORENCloud DNS?
ORENcloud DNS is a privacy-first policy DNS server which is blazing fast. It becomes even better as it blocks most common ad servers or DNS names associated to ad services. We maintain a list from a well-known source on github and it's mainly from a service maintained by https://oisd.nl
I am being blocked from a legit site, how do i inform you about it?
Please write to [email protected]
Which upstream DNS do we use?
We use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS and our own direct root replica (using unbound DNS). The good thing about it is that your queries are hidden behind our IP. It is not visible to the upstream so everything is totally private for you.
Do we allow to whitelist any specific domain/s?
We use a reliable list from many credible sources. If you wish to whitelist a domain, please write to us [email protected]
What AD-Blockers do we use?
We use 4 lists for Ads and malware:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

- https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/malware.txtEnabledDisabled
- https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/ads.txtEnabledDisabled
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jdlingyu/ad-wars/master/hostsEnabledDisabled
We use this for pornography on top of the above:

We are. Our engineers are doing this during their free time totally for Malaysians but of course, anyone could use it.
Do we have SLA?

Can i use it for my company?
Yes. But as again, we do not guarantee SLA 😀
