   NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"▲537

   We just shipped a new feature in NextDNS: Bypass Age Verification. More and more sites (especially adult ones) are now forcing users to upload IDs or selfies to continue. We think that’s a terrible idea: handing over government documents to random sites is a huge privacy risk. This new setting workarounds those verification flows via DNS tricks. It’s available today to all users, including free accounts. We’re curious how the HN community feels about this. Is it the right way to protect privacy online, or will it just provoke regulators to push harder? https://nextdns.io

   Route your prompts to the best LLM▲298

   Hey HN, we've just finished building a dynamic router for LLMs, which takes each prompt and sends it to the most appropriate model and provider. We'd love to know what you think! Here is a quick(ish) screen-recroding explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/ZpY6SIkBosE Best results when training a custom router on your own prompt data: https://youtu.be/9JYqNbIEac0 The router balances user preferences for quality, speed and cost. The end result is higher quality and faster LLM responses at lower cost. The quality for each candidate LLM is predicted ahead of time…

   OctoDNS, Tools for managing DNS across multiple providers▲31

   After the major outages from AWS and Cloudflare, I began wondering how to make my own services more resilient. Using nameservers from different providers is doable but a bit tricky to manage. OctoDNS helps automate keeping the zones synced so AWS, Cloudflare, etc. are all serving the same information. In an age of centralized infrastructure, we can exploit the capabilities from the origins of the decentralized internet.

    KittenDNS – Easy to setup, rule engine, LetsEncrypt compatible▲107

    My goal was to create a DNS server as simple as the LDAP server I've been contributing to (glauth) and here it is: https://github.com/fusion/kittendns A few things to know about it: - It is easy to configure using a Toml file - I am using it to bail my coredns/etcd instances when under attack - (yes, it also works as a service location server) - It comes with a simple, plain English, rule engine that doesn't do much at this point - It can be used with LetsEncrypt. I use it to retrieve certificates for my home servers. - RFC: all the nice ones :) Anyway, feedback is…

    I built a guided Build your own DNS Server challenge▲57

    Hey everyone. It's Sherub here, author of the Build your own DNS Server challenge on CodeCrafters. Currently it’s available in Rust, Go, and Python and is free while in beta. https://codecrafters.io/dns-server I've kept the challenge accessible but still challenging for an intermediate developer. This challenge, like others from CodeCrafters, is self-paced. You can use any tools you prefer (terminal, editor, etc.) to build the project. At the end of the challenge, you will have created a DNS forwarding server. The server can create and read DNS packets and respond to DNS…

    Dynomate– Fast, Git-Friendly DynamoDB GUI Client (Dynobase Alternative)▲29

    After a bit of frustration with the existing DynamoDB GUI clients, I decided to build one. Features: 1. Request collections: Chain together multiple operations - put, query, update, and delete across tables, accounts and sessions. Use the output of one operation as input for the next. 2. Environment Variables: Configure variables once and run the same requests across different environments (dev/staging/prod). No more manual parameter swapping. 3. Multi-tab, multi-account support: Work with multiple tables across different AWS accounts, and sso sessions simultaneously. 4. Easy SSO…
