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
