What it does
As a Network engineer, I’ve always dreamed of announcing my own BGP routes and peering with others. I wanted the experience of running a decentralized BGP network not just in a lab environment, but in a real, persistent setup that could run indefinitely. After some research, I discovered DN42, a community driven platform that makes this possible without requiring expensive ASNs or public IP allocations. With DN42, I can establish my own autonomous system, peer with other network enthusiasts, and even run my setup on a home router or a Raspberry Pi. This blog will document my journey into selfhosted BGP, the challenges I faced, and how I built my own decentralized network. If you’re a…from 0xmm.in

IP Guide – Info on IP addresses, Networks, and ASNs2023 · ip.guide · ▲363Hey all, wanted to share my recent weekend hack project. I wanted to improve upon the existing space for looking up information about IP addresses and ASNs. The backend is written in Rust and pulls BGP data every 8 hours from the RIPE RIS project to build up a routing table and also adds geolocation information. The frontend is using React and Tailwind. Would love any feedback or suggestions on what to improve.

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.
