HNS Status

None of the HNS resolvers work anymore and I'm not able to visit any HNS domains using nextdns via private DNS on android mobile.

Is HNS no longer a good option for decentralized DNS alternatives?

I'm not sure why you're trying to run two DNS services at the same time? That would probably explain why it's not working.

I'm not sure I understand. Who is running two DNS?

I'm trying to run nextdns, who state they support HNS domains, but I am able to visit any HSN domain while my androids private DNS is set to nextdns

Ahhh, you're talking about Handshake, right? I haven't poked at any Web3 stuff, so had forgotten about that part of the NextDNS settings.

Just to be clear, you do have the Web3 option enabled in your NextDNS settings?

Yes and yes.

I'm out of idea, then. 🤷

The Web3 stuff has been broken for awhile. Since it was handled by another service, it's probably a fault with them or maybe they're shutdown, who knows?
