Whalebone Now Powers DNS Infrastructure Behind Adblock Plus

Whalebone and eyeo have joined forces to operate DNS infrastructure supporting Adblock Plus, one of the world’s most widely used ad-blocking applications. Adblock Plus helps hundreds of millions of users reduce intrusive advertising and improve online privacy across browsers and devices.

Whalebone delivers the DNS foundation, eyeo keeps control

Eyeo, the company behind Adblock Plus, selected Whalebone to provide the DNS resolver layer that runs quietly in the background of Adblock Plus worldwide. The collaboration is already live, including deployment within the Adblock Plus iOS mobile app for Safari, where Whalebone Aura DNS protection enhances security at the network level.

Purpose-built DNS infrastructure operating at global scale

Whalebone specializes in DNS-based security, delivering globally distributed DNS infrastructure that blocks malicious domains and ensures fast, reliable domain resolution without requiring client-side software. In this setup, eyeo retains full control over policy logic and domain intelligence for Adblock Plus, while Whalebone delivers the underlying DNS platform that ensures performance, scalability, and resilience at global scale.

The result is a seamless experience for Adblock Plus users, powered by robust DNS infrastructure that remains invisible while supporting critical security and performance functions in the background.
