About Kansibox
Who Built It
I’m a systems engineer, software engineer, and network engineer with over 15 years of professional IT experience—including running my own computer services company.
My background includes designing secure networks, deploying servers, configuring DNS, implementing VPNs, and maintaining infrastructure built to run 24/7. I hold a Master’s Degree in Internet and Network Security and a Bachelor’s in Software Engineering.
I built Kansibox using the same standards—drawn from years of experience and technical work securing and maintaining real systems. It started as a personal challenge on my own network to see how clean and effective I could make a DNS-based solution. It worked better than expected—and now it’s available to anyone who wants network-level ad blocking without hassle.
What You’re Buying
- Refurbished Mini PC (HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini): Quad-Core Intel i5-6500T, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and 256GB SSD. Silent, low-power, and built for 24/7 uptime. Originally enterprise-grade hardware—now repurposed for private network defense.
- Ubuntu Server 22.04: Clean, stable, and long-term supported OS. Built for performance without the bloat.
- Pi-hole Pre-installed: Configured for full-network ad and tracker blocking out of the box. No extensions, no app installs.
- Custom Blocklists: Performance-optimized from years of real-world DNS filtering experience.
- CrowdSec Security Engine: Monitors for suspicious activity and bans malicious IPs automatically—like having a digital bouncer built in.
- Optional Guacamole: Web-based remote access available by request. Not installed by default.
This is not a smart speaker, IoT device, or cloud subscription. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no hidden connections. Everything runs inside your network—under your control.
