Please note that the IPv4 and IPv6 address of jhb01.dnscry.pt have changed.

One of the resolvers in Stockholm (sto01) has been renamed to huv01 (Hudiksvall) to reflect its real location. If you prefer using a resolver in Stockholm, please switch to sto02.

I am happy to welcome Shock VPN and Shock Hosting(https://shockhosting.com/){target=_blank} as sponsors. They are sponsoring new resolvers in Jacksonville and Bucharest and have adopted the resolvers in Seattle, Denver and Coventry. If you're using any of these three locations, please note that their IP addresses have changed.

ExtraVM have adopted the resolvers in New York, MIami and Los Angeles. Therefore, their IP addresses have changed as well.

Many thanks to Shock Hosting, Shock VPN and ExtraVM for sponsoring the project!

In addition, we have new resolvers in Bengaluru, Prague and Luxembourg.

Happy New Year! I wish everyone an excellent 2025!

Last year's raffle is now closed an I have sent emails to everyone who found the correct solution. Please make sure to check your inbox. Congratulations to all winners!

The idea for DNSCry.pt was born about two years ago, so it's time to celebrate its 2nd birthday, I guess.

The project has grown from a handful to over 100 resolvers worldwide over the last two years. It's been a great experience to get in touch with so many people who find the project useful, give feedback and make suggestions for new features. This growth wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of the sponsors of this project, of course.

To celebrate, I created a small CTF challenge and I am giving away two of these mugs*.

The challenge can be found at https://raffle.dnscry.pt/. To participate, send me your solution to mail+raffle@dnscry.pt. Winners will be chosen randomly on January 1st 2025. I'll contact the winners via email. Legal recourse is excluded. Please don't disclose the solution publicly.

Good luck!

(* To avoid customs issues and to keep shipping costs within a reasonable limit, I'll ship these to EU countries only!)

I had to remove the resolver in Mauritius due to ongoing IPv6 issues the provider is unable to resolve permanently. I'm currently looking for a replacement. If you know a provider who could fit, please let me know!

Not as cool as Mauritius, but we have new resolvers in Canada (Calgary, Halifax), Manchester, Houston and Grand Rapids.

Note that the IP addresses of the resolvers in Vancouver and Helsinki have changed!
