+
+**Title (72 chars):**
+Show HN: I built a DNS resolver from scratch in Rust – no DNS libraries
+
+**Body:**
+
+I wanted to understand how DNS actually works at the wire level, so I built
+a resolver from scratch. No dns libraries — the RFC 1035 protocol (headers,
+labels, compression pointers, record types) is all hand-parsed. It started
+as a learning project and turned into something I use daily as my system DNS.
+
+What it does today:
+
+- **Forward mode by default** — transparent proxy to your existing DNS with
+  caching and ad blocking. Changes nothing about your network.
+- **Full recursive resolver** — set `mode = "recursive"` and it resolves from
+  root nameservers. No upstream dependency. CNAME chasing, TLD priming, SRTT.
+- **DNSSEC validation** — chain-of-trust verification from root KSK.
+  RSA/SHA-256, ECDSA P-256, Ed25519. Sets the AD bit on verified responses.
+- **Ad blocking** — ~385K+ domains via Hagezi Pro, works on any network
+- **DNS-over-HTTPS** — encrypted upstream (Quad9, Cloudflare, or any
+  provider) as an alternative to recursive mode
+- **`.numa` local domains** — register `frontend.numa → localhost:5173` and
+  it creates both the DNS record and an HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy with
+  auto-generated TLS certs. WebSocket passthrough works (Vite HMR).
+- **LAN service discovery** — run Numa on two machines, they find each other
+  via UDP multicast. Zero config.
+- **Developer overrides** — point any hostname to any IP, auto-reverts
+  after N minutes. REST API for scripting.
+
+Single binary, macOS + Linux. `sudo numa install` and it's your system DNS —
+forward mode by default, recursive when you're ready.
+
+The interesting technical bits: the recursive resolver walks root → TLD →
+authoritative with iterative queries, caching NS/DS/DNSKEY records at each
+hop. DNSSEC validation verifies RRSIG signatures against DNSKEY, walks the
+chain via DS records up to the hardcoded root trust anchor. ECDSA P-256
+verification takes 174ns (benchmarked with criterion). Cold-cache validation
+for a new domain is ~90ms, with only 1 network fetch needed (TLD chain is
+pre-warmed on startup). SRTT-based nameserver selection learns which
+servers respond fastest — average recursive query drops from 2.8s to
+237ms after warmup (12x).
+
+It also handles hostile networks: if your ISP blocks UDP port 53,
+Numa detects this after 3 failures and switches all
+queries to TCP automatically. Resets when you change networks. RFC 7816
+query minimization means root servers only see the TLD, not your full
+query.
+
+The DNS cache adjusts TTLs on read (remaining time, not original). Each
+query is an async tokio task. EDNS0 with DO bit and 1232-byte payload
+(DNS Flag Day 2020).
+
+Longer term I want to add pkarr/DHT resolution for self-sovereign DNS,
+but that's future work.

+### r/rust
+
+**Title:** I built a recursive DNS resolver from scratch in Rust — DNSSEC, no DNS libraries
+
+**Body:**
+
+I've been building a DNS resolver in Rust as a learning project that became
+my daily driver. The entire DNS wire protocol is implemented by hand —
+no `trust-dns`, no `hickory-dns`, no `simple-dns`. Headers, label sequences,
+compression pointers, EDNS, all of it.
+
+Some things I found interesting while building this:
+
+**Recursive resolution** — iterative queries from root hints, walking
+root → TLD → authoritative. CNAME chasing, A+AAAA glue extraction from
+additional sections, referral depth limits. TLD priming pre-warms NS + DS +
+DNSKEY for 34 gTLDs + EU ccTLDs on startup.
+
+**DNSSEC chain-of-trust** — the most involved part. Verify RRSIG signatures
+against DNSKEY, walk DS records up to the hardcoded root KSK (key tag 20326).
+Uses `ring` for crypto: RSA/SHA-256, ECDSA P-256 (174ns per verify), Ed25519.
+RFC 3110 RSA keys need converting to PKCS#1 DER for ring — wrote an ASN.1
+encoder for that. RRSIG time validity checks per RFC 4035 §5.3.1.
+
+**NSEC/NSEC3 denial proofs** — proving a name *doesn't* exist is harder than
+proving it does. NSEC uses canonical DNS name ordering to prove gap coverage.
+NSEC3 uses iterated SHA-1 hashing + base32hex + a 3-part closest encloser
+proof (RFC 5155 §8.4). Both require authority-section RRSIG verification.
+
+**Wire protocol parsing** — DNS uses a binary format with label compression
+(pointers back into the packet via 2-byte offsets). Parsing this correctly
+is surprisingly tricky because pointers can chain. I use a `BytePacketBuffer`
+that tracks position and handles jumps.
+
+**Performance** — TLD chain pre-warming means cold-cache DNSSEC validation
+needs ~1 DNSKEY fetch (down from 5). Referral DS piggybacking caches DS
+from authority sections during resolution. ECDSA P-256 verify: 174ns.
+RSA/SHA-256: 10.9µs. DS verify: 257ns.
+
+**LAN service discovery** — Numa instances on the same network find each
+other via UDP multicast. The tricky part was self-filtering: I initially
+filtered by IP, but two instances on the same host share an IP. Switched to
+a per-process instance ID (`pid ^ nanos`).
+
+**Auto TLS** — generates a local CA + per-service certs using `rcgen`.
+`numa install` trusts the CA in the OS keychain. HTTPS proxy via `rustls` +
+`tokio-rustls`.
+
+Single binary, no runtime dependencies. Uses `tokio`, `axum` (REST
+API/dashboard), `hyper` (reverse proxy), `ring` (DNSSEC crypto), `reqwest`
+(DoH), `socket2` (multicast), `rcgen` + `rustls` (TLS).
+
+Happy to discuss any of the implementation decisions.

+### r/degoogle
+
+**Title:** I replaced cloud DNS with a recursive resolver — resolves from root, no upstream, DNSSEC
+
+**Body:**
+
+I wanted a DNS setup with zero cloud dependency. No NextDNS account,
+no Cloudflare dashboard, no Pi-hole appliance, no upstream resolver seeing
+my queries. Just a single binary on my laptop that resolves everything
+itself.
+
+Built one in Rust. What it does:
+
+- **Forward mode by default** — transparent proxy to your existing DNS with
+  caching and ad blocking. Changes nothing about your network.
+- **Recursive resolution** — set `mode = "recursive"` and it resolves directly
+  from root nameservers. No Quad9, no Cloudflare, no upstream dependency.
+  Each authoritative server only sees the query for its zone — no single
+  entity sees your full browsing pattern.
+- **DNSSEC validation** — verifies the chain of trust from root KSK.
+  Responses are cryptographically verified — no one can tamper with them
+  in transit.
+- **System-level ad blocking** — Hagezi Pro list (~385K+ domains),
+  works on any network. Coffee shop WiFi, airport, hotel.
+- **ISP resistant** — in recursive mode, if UDP is blocked Numa switches
+  to TCP automatically. Or set `mode = "auto"` to probe on startup and
+  fall back to encrypted DoH if needed.
+- **Query minimization** — root servers only see the TLD (.com), not
+  your full domain. RFC 7816.
+- **Zero telemetry, zero cloud** — all data stays on your machine. No
+  account, no login, no analytics. Config is a single TOML file.
+- **Local service naming** — bonus for developers: `https://app.numa`
+  instead of `localhost:3000`, with auto-generated TLS certs
+
+Single binary, macOS + Linux. `sudo numa install` and it's your system
+DNS — forward mode by default, recursive when you're ready. No Docker,
+no PHP, no external dependencies.
+
+The DNS wire protocol is parsed from scratch — no DNS libraries. You can
+read every line of code.

+
+**Title:** I replaced localhost:5173 with frontend.numa — auto HTTPS, HMR works, no nginx
+
+**Body:**
+
+Running a Vite frontend on :5173, Express API on :3000, maybe docs on
+:4000 — I could never remember which port was which. And CORS between
+`localhost:5173` and `localhost:3000` is its own special hell.
+
+How do you get named domains with HTTPS locally?
+
+1. /etc/hosts + mkcert + nginx
+2. dnsmasq + mkcert + Caddy
+3. `sudo numa`
+
+What it actually does:
+
+```
+curl -X POST localhost:5380/services \
+  -d '{"name":"frontend","target_port":5173}'
+```
+
+Now `https://frontend.numa` works in my browser. Green lock, valid cert.
+
+- **HMR works** — Vite, webpack, socket.io all pass through the proxy.
+  No special config.
+- **CORS solved** — `frontend.numa` and `api.numa` share the `.numa`
+  cookie domain. Cross-service auth just works.
+- **Path routing** — `app.numa/api → :3000`, `app.numa/auth → :3001`.
+  Like nginx location blocks, zero config files.
+
+No mkcert, no nginx.conf, no Caddyfile, no editing /etc/hosts.
+Single binary, one command.

+- EDNS0 with DO bit, 1232-byte payload (DNS Flag Day 2020 compliant)
+- DNS-over-HTTPS as an alternative upstream mode
+- Ad blocking (~385K+ domains via Hagezi Pro)

+- Local zones, ephemeral overrides with auto-revert via REST API
+
+DNSSEC implementation: DNSKEY/DS/RRSIG record parsing, canonical wire format
+for signed data, key tag computation (RFC 4034), DS digest verification.
+Chain walks from zone → TLD → root trust anchor. ECDSA P-256 signature
+verification in 174ns. TLD chain pre-warmed on startup. Referral DS records
+piggybacked from authority sections during resolution.
+
+NSEC/NSEC3 authenticated denial of existence: NXDOMAIN gap proofs, NSEC3

+
+**Body:**
+
+I built a DNS resolver in Rust — RFC 1035 wire protocol parsed by hand,
+no `trust-dns` or `hickory-dns`. Started as a learning project, became
+my daily system DNS.
+
+Beyond resolving, it does local `.numa` domains with auto HTTPS reverse
+proxy (register `frontend.numa → localhost:5173`, get a green lock and
+WebSocket passthrough), and LAN service discovery via UDP multicast —
+two machines running Numa find each other's services automatically.
+
+Implementation bits I found interesting: DNS label compression (chained
+2-byte pointers back into the packet), browsers rejecting wildcard certs
+under single-label TLDs (`*.numa` fails — need per-service SANs), and
+`SO_REUSEPORT` on macOS for multiple processes binding the same multicast
+port.
+
+Set `mode = "recursive"` for DNSSEC-validated resolution from root
+nameservers — no upstream, no middleman.

+The port numbers weren't the real problem. It was CORS between
+`localhost:5173` and `localhost:3000`, Secure cookies not setting over
+HTTP, and service workers requiring a secure context.
+
+I built a DNS resolver that gives local services named domains under a
+shared TLD:
+
+```
+curl -X POST localhost:5380/services \
+  -d '{"name":"frontend","target_port":5173}'
+```
+
+Now `https://frontend.numa` and `https://api.numa` share the `.numa`
+cookie domain. Cross-service auth just works. Secure cookies set.
+Service workers run.
+
+What's under the hood:
+- **Auto HTTPS** — generates a local CA + per-service TLS certs. Green
+  lock, no mkcert.
+- **WebSocket passthrough** — Vite/webpack HMR goes through the proxy.
+  No special config.
+- **Path routing** — `app.numa/api → :3000`, `app.numa/auth → :3001`.
+  Like nginx location blocks.
+- **Also a full DNS resolver** — forward mode with caching and ad
+  blocking by default. Set `mode = "recursive"` for full DNSSEC-validated
+  resolution from root nameservers.
+
+Single Rust binary. `sudo numa install` and it's your system DNS — caching,
+ad blocking, .numa domains. No nginx, no Caddy, no /etc/hosts.
+
+```
+brew install razvandimescu/tap/numa
+# or
+cargo install numa
+```
+
+https://github.com/razvandimescu/numa
+
+**Lessons from r/node (2026-03-24):** "Can't remember 3 ports?" got
+pushback — the CORS/cookie angle resonated more. Lead with what you
+can't do without it, not what's annoying.

+**Title:** numa — local dev DNS with auto HTTPS and LAN service discovery, single Rust binary
+
+**Body:**
+
+I run 5-6 local services and wanted named domains with HTTPS instead of
+remembering port numbers. Built a DNS resolver that handles `.numa`
+domains:
+
+```
+curl -X POST localhost:5380/services \
+  -d '{"name":"api","target_port":8000}'
+```
+
+Now `https://api.numa` resolves, proxies to localhost:8000, and has a
+valid TLS cert. WebSocket passthrough works — Vite HMR goes through
+the proxy fine.
+
+The part I didn't expect to be useful: LAN service discovery. Two
+machines running numa find each other via UDP multicast. I register
+`api.numa` on my laptop, my teammate's numa instance picks it up
+automatically. Zero config.
+
+Also blocks ~385K+ ad domains since it's already your DNS resolver.
+Portable — works on any network (coffee shops, airports). Set
+`mode = "recursive"` for full DNSSEC-validated resolution from root
+nameservers — no upstream dependency.
+
+```
+brew install razvandimescu/tap/numa
+sudo numa
+```
+
+Single binary, DNS wire protocol parsed from scratch (no DNS libraries).

+### r/selfhosted (only if Show HN hits front page)
+
+**Title:** Numa — recursive resolver + ad blocking + LAN service discovery in one binary
+
+**Body:**
+
+I built a DNS resolver in Rust that I've been running as my system DNS.
+Two features I'm most proud of:
+
+**Recursive resolution + DNSSEC** — set `mode = "recursive"` and it resolves
+from root nameservers, no upstream dependency. Chain-of-trust verification
+(RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519), NSEC/NSEC3 denial proofs. No single entity sees your
+full query pattern — each authoritative server only sees its zone's queries.
+
+**LAN service discovery** — I register `api.numa → localhost:8000` on my
+laptop. My colleague's machine, also running Numa, picks it up via UDP
+multicast — `api.numa` resolves to my IP on his machine. Zero config.
+
+The rest of what it does:
+- **Ad blocking** — ~385K+ domains (Hagezi Pro), portable. Works on any
+  network including coffee shops and airports.
+- **DNS-over-HTTPS** — encrypted upstream as an alternative to recursive mode.
+- **Auto HTTPS for local services** — generates a local CA + per-service
+  TLS certs. `https://frontend.numa` with a green lock, WebSocket passthrough.
+- **Hub mode** — point other devices' DNS to it, they get ad blocking +
+  `.numa` resolution without installing anything.
+
+Replaces Pi-hole + Unbound in one binary. No Raspberry Pi, no Docker, no PHP.
+
+Single binary, macOS + Linux. Config is one optional TOML file.
+
+**What it doesn't do (yet):** No web-based config editor (TOML + REST API).
+DoT listener is in progress.
+
+`brew install razvandimescu/tap/numa` or `cargo install numa`

+
+## Prepared Responses
+
+**"What does this offer over /etc/hosts?"** *(actual r/programare objection)*
+/etc/hosts is static and per-machine. Numa gives you: auto-revert after N
+minutes (great for testing), a REST API so scripts can create/remove entries,
+HTTPS reverse proxy with auto TLS, and LAN discovery so you don't have to
+edit hosts on every device. Different tools for different problems.
+
+**"Mature solutions already exist (dnsmasq, nginx, etc.)"** *(actual r/programare objection)*
+Absolutely — and they're great. The thing they don't do: register a service
+on machine A and have it automatically appear on machine B via multicast.
+Numa integrates DNS + reverse proxy + TLS + discovery into one binary so
+those pieces work together. If you only need DNS forwarding, dnsmasq is the
+right tool.
+
+**"Why not Pi-hole / AdGuard Home?"**
+They're network appliances — need dedicated hardware or Docker. Numa is a
+single binary on your laptop. When you move to a coffee shop, your ad
+blocking comes with you. Plus the reverse proxy + LAN discovery.
+
+**"Why from scratch / no DNS libraries?"**
+Started as a learning project to understand the wire protocol. Turned out
+having full control over the pipeline makes features like conditional
+forwarding and override injection trivial — they're just steps in the
+resolution chain.
+
+**"Vibe coded / AI generated?"**
+I use AI as a coding partner — same as using Stack Overflow or pair
+programming. I make the architecture decisions, direct what gets built,
+and review everything. The DNS wire protocol parser was the original
+learning project I wrote by hand. Later features were built collaboratively
+with AI assistance. You can read every line — nothing is opaque generated
+slop.
+
+**"Why sudo / why port 53?"**
+Port 53 requires root on Unix. Numa only needs it for the UDP socket.
+You can also bind to a high port for testing: `bind_addr = "127.0.0.1:5353"`.
+
+**"What about .numa TLD conflicts?"**
+The TLD is configurable in `numa.toml`. If `.numa` ever becomes official,
+change it to anything else.
+
+**"Does it support DoH/DoT?"**
+DoH is built in — set `address = "https://9.9.9.9/dns-query"` in
+`[upstream]` and your queries are encrypted. Or set `mode = "auto"` to
+probe root servers and fall back to DoH if blocked. DoT listener support
+is in progress (PR #25).
+
+**"But Quad9/Cloudflare still sees my queries"**
+In forward mode (the default), yes — your upstream resolver sees your queries.
+Set `mode = "recursive"` and Numa resolves directly from root nameservers —
+no single upstream sees your full query pattern. Each authoritative server
+only sees the query relevant to its zone. Add `[dnssec] enabled = true` to
+cryptographically verify responses.
+
+**"Show me benchmarks / performance numbers"** *(actual r/programare request)*
+Benchmark suite is in `benches/` (criterion). Cached round-trip: 691ns.
+Pipeline throughput: ~2.0M qps. DNSSEC: ECDSA P-256 verify 174ns, RSA/SHA-256
+10.9µs, DS verify 257ns. Cold-cache DNSSEC validation ~90ms (1 network fetch,
+TLD chain pre-warmed). Full comparison against system resolver, Quad9,
+Cloudflare, Google on the site.
+
+**"Why not just use Unbound?"**
+Numa supports recursive resolution with DNSSEC validation, same as Unbound
+(`mode = "recursive"`). The difference:
+Numa also has built-in ad blocking, a dashboard, `.numa` local domains with
+auto HTTPS, LAN service discovery, and developer overrides. Unbound does
+one thing well; Numa integrates six features into one binary.
+
+**"Why not Technitium?"**
+Technitium is the closest in features — recursive, DNSSEC, ad blocking,
+dashboard. Good tool. Two differences: (1) Numa is a single static binary,
+Technitium requires the .NET runtime; (2) Numa has developer tooling that
+Technitium doesn't — `.numa` local domains with auto TLS reverse proxy,
+path-based routing, LAN service discovery, ephemeral overrides with
+auto-revert. Different audiences: Technitium targets server admins, Numa
+targets developers on laptops.
+
+**"Does it support Windows?"**
+macOS and Linux are the primary targets. Windows has scaffolding in the code
+but is not tested. If there's demand, it's on the list.
