A collection of free DNS-based Internet utilities (dynamic DNS, public IP lookup, ACME dns-01 challenge helper, DNS resolver testing) plus addrd, the custom Go DNS server powering them. The repo contains both the hosted services and the self-hostable DNS server source code.
Use cases
- get my public IP address from the command line
- dynamic DNS for my own domain without an account
- solve dns-01 ACME challenges for wildcard certificates
- check which DNS resolvers I'm using and whether DNSSEC validation works
- self-host a custom authoritative DNS server in Go
- look up identifying info for domains and IP addresses
When to choose
- you need account-free dynamic DNS or a free subdomain for dynamic updates
- you want a helper zone for Let's Encrypt dns-01 challenges
- you want to debug or test DNS resolvers and DNSSEC behavior
- you want a lightweight custom DNS server written in Go to self-host
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured DNS server like BIND, PowerDNS, or CoreDNS with zone transfers and recursion
- you need managed DNS hosting with a web control panel
- you need dynamic DNS with authentication and multi-user account management
