| # Alternatives Comparison | ||
|
|
||
| Leng overlaps with a few other solutions in terms of providing DNS sinkholing for advertisements, as well as custom DNS. | ||
| This pages aims to clarify how leng compares to these other solutions. | ||
|
|
||
| > TLDR: Leng is suitable for a simple DNS server that serves custom records and blocks ads. | ||
| > It is designed to be small and easily scriptable (like Blocky), whereas Adguard, PiHole, etc are more comprehensive | ||
| solutions that include many more features but are not stateless, and are likely to have a larger fingerprint. | ||
|
|
||
| This is by all means not a comprehensive list. | ||
| Note I have not tried every single of these alternatives, so some information might be outdated | ||
| or plain wrong - if so please submit a PR to correct it if you find it so. | ||
