RetroDNS

A simple DNS proxy server to help people who cannot connect to third-party DNS servers

Usage

Adding domain entries

Edit 99-domains.txt and add any records that require a proxy. By default, domains are split into wildcards until they are funneled down to a single "catchall" route.

If needed, you may specify multiple domain files. They are loaded in priority based on the optional number appended to the beginning of the filename. (Ex: 00-domains.txt will load before any other file)

Note: The names of these files may post-fixed with any designator that you choose (Ex: 05-domains_openspy.txt)

Ex:

RetroDNS/
    - RetroDNS.exe
    - RetroDNS.UI.exe
    - 01-domains_ps3.txt
    - 99-domains.txt

Domain file formatting example:

# Example to respond with an explicit IP address
api.psrewired.com=ip://129.168.0.123 

# Example to forward PSRewired sub-domains to their DNS server
*.psrewired.com=dns://67.222.156.250

# Example to foward all other requests to Google DNS
*=dns://8.8.8.8
