Tired of companies snooping through your DNS traffic? Don't you wish you could get advertisements with your DNS records? Today we're introducing the innovative, privacy-focused, ad-supported DNS resolver - DN$! Traditional DNS resolvers provided by your internet service provider, cloudflare, or google could be tracking your internet activity and selling it to third-party data vendors. We at DN$ want to fix that and cut out these nefarious actors (until we've amassed a critical number of users to exploit). In order to support such a radically new business model, our service needs to serve…

Every privacy-focused DNS service requires an account: NextDNS, Cloudflare for Families, Apple's iCloud Private Relay (paid, iOS-only). The protocol that doesn’t require one - ODoH - had basically one well-known public relay operator (Frank Denis on Fastly Compute, default in dnscrypt-proxy). I built a second one and the client to talk to it.

VPN Peek▲88Hey HN, I built a menu bar utility to monitor VPN status and detect leaks on macOS. The problem: macOS doesn't make it obvious when your VPN silently disconnects, and even when connected, DNS or IPv6 traffic can leak outside the tunnel without you knowing. VPN Peek shows your connection status at a glance and runs leak detection: - DNS leak detection: checks if your DNS queries go through your VPN or leak to your ISP - IPv6 leak detection: detects if your real IPv6 address is exposed - Shows current public IP and location - Notifications when VPN drops or leaks are detected - Auto-refreshes…

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…
