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…

I built a CLI to benchmark DNS resolvers after discovering DNS was adding 300ms to my API requests. v0.3.0 just released with new features: compare: Test single domain across all resolvers top: Rank resolvers by latency/reliability/balanced monitor: Continuous tracking with threshold alerts 1,400+ downloads in first week. Quick start: pip install dns-benchmark-tool dns-benchmark compare --domain google.com CLI stays free forever. Hosted version (multi-region, historical tracking, alerts) coming Q1 2026.

Hi HN, This is a project [1] I've been working on for a little while and I'm interested in your feedback and point of view. Many of us would have verified a domain name by pasting a string into a DNS TXT record. Some providers ask us to store this DNS TXT record at a domain using a DNS label like "_provider" e.g. _provider.yourdomain.com, and some providers ask that you do it at the zone apex (God help us [2]). The Domain Verification protocol stores a DNS TXT record at a DNS name derived from a hashed "verifiable identifier" (think email, telephone, DID), enabling anyone that can prove…

I built a DNS resolver that lets me use https://frontend.numa instead of localhost:5173 — auto-generated TLS certs, WebSocket passthrough, path routing. No mkcert, no nginx, no /etc/hosts.

Howdy HN! I find myself testing my ping from time to time, especially when my internet seems wonky while WFH. It feels like there should be an easier way test my ping than puling up a terminal or a complex web app - especially when I'm on my phone or any other device that doesn't have a terminal. I figured I should be the change I wish to see in the world and created this super light ping test. I also created a latency monitoring solution (https://github.com/cjjeakle/network-monitor), feel free to clone and try it out! I know there are a lot more mature monitoring…

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…

I found out Cloudflare has a DNS over HTTPS api via 1.1.1.1 resolver, figured I'd make a small tool out of it, as somene who keeps checking domain names for side projects which I never build, this kinda helps me look for something. It's not fully accurate, because it returns unavailable even for parked pages, which technically are available, but works for me. It just checks for A records via this endpoint https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=${domain}&type=A Just make sure to pass this header - "application/dns-json"
