F.A.Q.

• Q: Is it like a decentralized DNS thing?

• A: Yeah, sort of. With it you can host your own meshname domains and resolve domains of others.

• Q: Meshname domains are ugly.

• A: Yes, if you want decentralization, you either have ugly names or a blockchain. Meshname has ugly names, but it works at least!

How to use meshname domains?

Use a full-featured DNS server with the meshname protocol support, i.e. PopuraDNS.

For a standalone .meshname stub resolver see USAGE.md
