New: NoRegistry censorship-resistant DNS over BitTorrent's DHT, 1 command to run

PKDNS is a naming system where your address is derived from a cryptographic key — not issued by a registrar, not dependent on ICANN, nothing to seize.

It runs over Mainline DHT — the same distributed network BitTorrent has operated reliably since 2005 with 25M+ nodes. No new infrastructure to bootstrap or company running the network.

We built a landing page that makes the case and gives technically sophisticated users an immediate way to run it — 1 command to spin up a resolver that works alongside Pi-hole or as a standalone Docker container.

The irony: noregistry.com is a domain we paid $15 to register with a company that can take it away. This page is also live at a PKDNS address that cannot be seized by anyone. Ever:

pk:cqwmibxsfx33fgs4ix1kqhuapuxbty9t33jsk5o4nzwzy9kqhuro

Want to try resolving it without installing anything first? Set your DNS to 46.225.159.225 and resolve the address above — it lands on the same page. No registrar involved.

*Note: the public resolver is a convenience for testing. For the full censorship-resistance properties you should run your own — the VPS is a centralised point we operate and it could be taken down. Think of it as training wheels, not the destination.

1 command to run your own: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thisispav/no-registry/main... | sh

Happy to answer questions about the implementation, the DHT mechanics, or the comparison with IPFS.
