ctrld
A highly configurable, multi-protocol DNS forwarding proxy (by Control-D-Inc)
Pi.Alert
Scan the devices connected to your WIFI / LAN and alert you the connection of unknown devices. It also warns if a "always connected" device disconnects. In addition, it is possible to check web services for availability. For this purpose HTTP status codes and the response time of the service are evaluated. (by leiweibau)

Using Control-D on your Mikrotik router
So when I discovered the Control D resolver, I thought I'd try to make this work instead. Getting it up and running in a Docker environment was easy. Repeating this on a Mikrotik router involved a little bit more learning on my part. The r/mikrotik community was instrumental in getting this up and running. As a thank-you for all the comments that helped me work this all out, I thought I'd write a full guide on how to replace the resolver built in to Router OS, with one by Control D.
