About Technitium

Technitium DNS Server is an open source authoritative and recursive DNS server for self hosting for privacy and security. It works out of the box with a user friendly web console in a modern browser, with DNS logs, stats and cache. It suits home and organization networks that want local resolution and control. Raspberry Pi support needs an arm7 CPU, so Pi 1 and Zero are not supported.

Pricing is not clearly stated.
