DNS

DNS translates domain names into IP addresses. ~horse operates a public resolver that also supports .ygg and .meship domains — special addresses used on the Yggdrasil mesh network. Our resolver uses the following software:

• dnsmasq — caching DNS forwarder
• ALFIS — resolves .ygg domains
• meshnamed — resolves .meship domains

To use our DNS resolver, configure your device or application with the following settings:

• IPv4: 65.87.7.164
• Yggdrasil: 202:cbff:6f7f:fa95:c6e9:3768:a96e:d1c8
• Port: 53

Testing

To verify the resolver is working:

RESOLVER="@65.87.7.164" drill $RESOLVER example.com; drill $RESOLVER example.ygg

Privacy

We do not log DNS queries. No records of your lookups are stored or monitored on our server. However, queries for non-.ygg and non-.meship domains are forwarded to Control D's free ad & tracker blocking servers. We cannot guarantee the certainty of their privacy policy.
