Tech Stack
It's called GhostShield.
The Stack:
Hardware: Optimized for Raspberry Pi Zero W.
Backend: Python 3 using dnslib for handling DNS requests and Flask for the web server.
Performance: It uses an in-memory SQLite database to minimize SD card write cycles (a common issue with Raspi logs).
Frontend: A custom "Cyberpunk"-styled dashboard to visualize live traffic and blocked domains in real-time.
It pulls blocklists from the StevenBlack hosts list (approx 150k domains).
This is a passion project to learn more about DNS protocols and socket programming. I know it's not as feature-rich as Pi-hole or AdGuard Home yet, but I'd love to hear your feedback on the code and architecture!
