I have been reading about the Yggdrasil Network because it was on Hacker News front page again. The one I think I don't understand, or haven't found information about, is how does it handles DNS. All their listed internal services use IPv6 addresses which, unless listed as they are listing them, nobody would remember.
So, is DNS not part of the equation and left to be handled separately, at user's discretion? You will think that some solution would have been provided for it, right? Like using Unbound, or coreDNS, or similar.
@fastidious it relies on the common DNS structure. of course you can use some alternative service, but anyone trying to access your service need to use it too.
IMHO Yggdrasil sins in not worrying much about anonimicity.
There is another LLARP project called Lokinet. They also have An integrated (and distributed) DNS service.
@lohn I see, so, pretty much what I am doing with my WireGuard server, I run a local Unbound, and manage entries on it, and all my clients uses it, so everyone is resolvable. I am not concerned about anonymity, so not an issue with Yggdrasil. About Lokinet, I just took a look and they lost me at their ONS records, and the OXEN cryptocurrency. Absolutely a hard pass on anything with crypto rubbish.
@fastidious All this crypto hype rubbish actually creates centralized networks of nodes that rich and powerful people control 🤦♂️
