💖 desproxy-dns — DNS for dynamic connections 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the desproxy-dns page, straight out of the User Commands manual section. it's giving "tiny utility, huge main character energy" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

desproxy-dns — DNS for dynamic connections 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port

like, three little args and you're off 🎀

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• None — that's it, that's the whole list. no flags, no frills, no notes. periodt.

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the vibe check: if you already have direct DNS access, you literally don't need to do anything else. you know you've got direct DNS access if you can resolve host names to IP addresses. if that's you, congrats, you're done, go touch grass 🌱

NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns — in fact if you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root. no cap. this is not a drill. 😭

OK so you have a dns server accessible now. but your computer doesn't know anything about that 🥲. you must configure your network accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X).

edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". you don't have to restart anything. just test ping and see if it works 🫶
