TheFeed is a DNS-based feed reader and lightweight messenger that works on networks where only DNS queries pass through, letting users read Telegram channels and public X accounts and send end-to-end-encrypted messages entirely over plain DNS. It ships cross-platform clients (Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux) written in Go, with an optional self-hosted server component.

Use cases

• read telegram channels without a vpn on a filtered network
• follow twitter/x accounts when only dns traffic is allowed
• send encrypted messages over dns to bypass censorship
• stay connected during internet shutdowns in iran
• self-host a dns feed server for my community
• access blocked social media feeds using only dns queries

When to choose

• your network blocks everything except DNS and you need news or messaging
• you want a censorship-resistant way to follow Telegram/X content
• you need end-to-end encrypted chat that tunnels over DNS
• you want a self-hostable relay you control

When to avoid

• you have unrestricted internet access - normal apps are faster and richer
• you need full Telegram or X functionality like media, DMs, or posting
• you need high-bandwidth content since DNS tunneling is slow and low-throughput
• you require guaranteed anonymity rather than encryption
