Control D is a customizable DNS filtering and traffic redirection platform that leverages Secure DNS protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-QUIC, with support for Legacy DNS.
With Control D you can: block malicious threats, block unwanted types of content network wide (ads & trackers, IoT telemetry, adult content, socials, and more), redirect traffic using transparent proxies and gain visibility on network events and usage patterns, with client level granularity.
Think of it as your personal Authoritative DNS resolver for the entire Internet that gives you granular control over what domains get resolved, redirected or blocked.

WireMock
WireMock is a tool designed to simulate HTTP-based APIs, which some may refer to as a mock server or a service virtualization solution. It proves invaluable for maintaining productivity when a necessary API is either unavailable or incomplete. The tool also facilitates the testing of edge cases and failure scenarios that a live API might not consistently reproduce. Its speed can significantly decrease build times, transforming hours of work into mere minutes. MockLab builds on WireMock by providing a hosted API simulator that features an easy-to-use web interface, allows for team collaboration, and requires no installation. The API is fully compatible and can replace the WireMock server effortlessly with just a single line of code. You can operate WireMock from a variety of environments, including Java applications, JUnit tests, Servlet containers, or as an independent process. It offers the ability to match request URLs, HTTP methods, headers, cookies, and bodies through numerous strategies. Additionally, it provides robust support for both JSON and XML formats, making it simple to get started by capturing traffic from an existing API. Overall, WireMock serves as a crucial resource for developers seeking to streamline their API testing processes.

Apiary
Develop an API in just half an hour and share it with your colleagues or clients, allowing them to explore the API mock without any coding required. This hands-on approach enables them to test its functionality while you refine its design—coding can be deferred until you fully understand your developers' requirements. With a focus on being developer-friendly, our API framework is robust, open source, and highly adaptable. It combines the simplicity of Markdown with the capabilities of automated mock servers, tests, validations, proxies, and code samples tailored to your preferred programming languages. Often, grasping how an API will function in real-world scenarios is challenging until you can interact with it through code. Just as wireframes serve a purpose in UI design, a server mock is essential for effective API design, providing a quick way to prototype before diving into actual coding. With only two clicks, you can connect Apiary to your selected repository, giving you the choice to keep your API Blueprint private or share it publicly for community input. Each time you commit, we refresh the API documentation, and any updates you make at Apiary are automatically pushed to your repository, creating a seamless cycle of improvement. This process not only enhances collaboration but also accelerates the overall development timeline.
