Displays a menu bar app that lets users route DNS traffic through a local hnsd SPV node. Here's a screenshot of what you'll get:
We recommend downloading one of the DMG files from this repo's Releases page. You may get 'unidentified developer' messages if you download versions prior to v0.2.
When you click 'Start' in the app menu, OnomaMenubar will start two processes: hnsd, and a helper tool responsible for monitoring hnsd. It will also point the DNS servers for every network interface on your computer to hnsd's recursive resolver port. When you quit OnomaMenubar, DNS settings will be cleared.
Currently, the application points to a simnet Kyokan created for the purposes of faster development while a new official testnet is created. To verify your installation, use the following domain: http://megatest/. You should see an aminated gif of a computer. The simnet's only node is located at http://onoma-infra.dev.kyokan.io.
We'll point the app to the new testnet once it's launched.
We've been dogfooding the app since mid-December, and there haven't been any major problems. That said, this is currently beta software so caveat user. Please report an issue if anything problems crop up for you.
A compiled version of hnsd with commit hash 895d89c25d316d18df9d374fe78aae3902bc89fb is included in this repo. As hnsd gets updated, we'll also update the included binary. The hnsd binary is code signed alongside all other build products.
Note that hnsd uses statically-compiled versions of libunbound and openssl.
Many thanks to Erik Berglund, whose SwiftPrivilegedHelper example application forms the basis of this app's privilege escalation and helper management code.
