A private DNS resolver

Let your DNS
lose the trail.

privdns sends your lookups through a mixnet, so what you ask for stays between you and the internet.

01 The good stuff

Private enough
to be boring.

Every lookup takes the scenic route. privdns wraps your DNS query in a single-use request and sends it across the cMixx network before it ever reaches a resolver.

There’s no account attached, no persistent client identity to follow, and no neat little trail from your query back to you.

A fresh envelope
for every ask.

Each lookup leaves in a new, single-use packet. The destination can answer your question, but it can’t see who had it.

Your DNS,
your local port.

privdns listens quietly on 127.0.0.1:5354. Everything else can keep talking DNS as usual.

Small, inspectable,
and still a little weird.

privdns is an experimental open-source project built around the xx network / Elixxir cMixx mixnet. Poke at the source. Make it better.
