The Agent
A lightweight background agent for Windows that automatically switches your machine's DNS servers based on network context — for example, using a different resolver at the office than at home.
Boris
An open source DNS agent and management portal for keeping the right DNS servers set on your devices, automatically.
Currently under active development — this page will grow as the project does.
The Portal
A management console for defining policies and grouping devices, so administrators can control DNS behaviour across a whole fleet of machines rather than one at a time. Available as a hosted instance at getboris.au or fully self-hosted.
Open Source
Boris is open source and donation-funded, with self-hosting supported as a first-class option, not an afterthought.
Under active development
Boris is early — this is what's being worked on. Nothing here is final, and the shape of the project may change as it takes form.
Network-aware switching
DNS servers change automatically based on which network you're connected to.
Group policies
Apply rules to groups of devices, not one machine at a time.
Web portal
An admin console for managing devices, groups, and policies.
Sensible defaults
A safe fallback policy applies before enrollment, so DNS is never left unmanaged.
Hosted or self-hosted
Use the hosted portal at getboris.au, or run the whole stack yourself.
Free and open
Donation-funded, with no paid tier planned.
Coming soon
Boris is still being built. There's nothing to install or sign up for yet — check back here as the project takes shape.
