* fix: cross-platform CA trust (Arch/Fedora + Windows) Closes #35. trust_ca_linux now detects which trust store the distro ships and runs the matching refresh command, instead of hardcoding Debian's update-ca-certificates. Detection walks a const table in priority order, picking the first whose anchor dir exists: - debian: /usr/local/share/ca-certificates (update-ca-certificates) - pki: /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors (update-ca-trust extract) - p11kit: /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors (trust extract-compat) Falls back with a clear error listing every backend tried. Adds Windows support via certutil -addstore Root / -delstore Root, removing the silent CA-trust gap on numa install (previously the service installed but the trust step quietly errored, leaving every HTTPS .numa request throwing browser warnings). Refactor: trust_ca and untrust_ca are now thin dispatchers calling per-platform helpers. CA_COMMON_NAME and CA_FILE_NAME are centralized in tls.rs and reused from system_dns.rs and api.rs. untrust_ca_linux no longer pre-checks file existence (TOCTOU) and skips the refresh when no file was actually removed. Test: tests/docker/install-trust.sh runs the install/uninstall contract against debian:stable, fedora:latest, and archlinux:latest in containers, asserting the cert lands in (and is removed from) the system bundle. All three pass locally. README notes the Firefox/NSS limitation (separate trust store).

Designed to coexist with a running production numa: - Refuses to run if a real "Numa Local CA" is already in System.keychain (fail-closed protection for dogfood installs) - Uses a unique CN ("Numa Local CA Test <pid-timestamp>") so the test cert can never collide with production - Mirrors the by-hash deletion loop from untrust_ca_macos - Trap-cleanup on success or interrupt Lives under tests/manual/ to signal "host-mutating, dev-only" — distinct from tests/docker/install-trust.sh which is hermetic. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: relax bail-out in macOS trust test (safe alongside production) The bail-out was overly defensive. The test cert uses a unique CN ("Numa Local CA Test <pid-ts>") that is strictly longer than the production CN, so `security find-certificate -c $TEST_CN` cannot substring-match the production cert. All deletes are by-hash, which can only target the test cert's specific hash. Coexistence is provably safe; document the reasoning in the header comment block and replace the refusal with an informational notice.

**DNS you own. Everywhere you go.** — [numa.rs](https://numa.rs)
|
|
|
|
A portable DNS resolver in a single binary. Block ads on any network, name your local services (`frontend.numa`), and override any hostname with auto-revert — all from your laptop, no cloud account or Raspberry Pi required.
|
|
|
|
Built from scratch in Rust. Zero DNS libraries. RFC 1035 wire protocol parsed by hand. Caching, ad blocking, and local service domains out of the box. Optional recursive resolution from root nameservers with full DNSSEC chain-of-trust validation, plus a DNS-over-TLS listener for encrypted client connections (iOS Private DNS, systemd-resolved, etc.). One ~8MB binary, everything embedded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# macOS
|
|
brew install razvandimescu/tap/numa
|
|
|
|
# Linux
|
|
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/razvandimescu/numa/main/install.sh | sh
|
|
|
|
# Windows — download from GitHub Releases
|
|
# All platforms
|
|
cargo install numa
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo numa # run in foreground (port 53 requires root/admin)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open the dashboard: **http://numa.numa** (or `http://localhost:5380`)
|
|
|
|
Set as system DNS:
|
|
|
|
| Platform | Install | Uninstall |
|
|
|----------|---------|-----------|
|
|
| macOS | `sudo numa install` | `sudo numa uninstall` |
|
|
| Linux | `sudo numa install` | `sudo numa uninstall` |
|
|
| Windows | `numa install` (admin) + reboot | `numa uninstall` (admin) + reboot |
|
|
|
|
On macOS and Linux, numa runs as a system service (launchd/systemd). On Windows, numa auto-starts on login via registry.
|
|
|
|
## Local Services
|
|
|
|
Name your dev services instead of remembering port numbers:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST localhost:5380/services \
|
|
-d '{"name":"frontend","target_port":5173}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now `https://frontend.numa` works in your browser — green lock, valid cert, WebSocket passthrough for HMR. No mkcert, no nginx, no `/etc/hosts`.
|
|
|
|
Add path-based routing (`app.numa/api → :5001`), share services across machines via LAN discovery, or configure everything in [`numa.toml`](numa.toml).
|
|
|
|
## Ad Blocking & Privacy
|
|
|
|
385K+ domains blocked via [Hagezi Pro](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists). Works on any network — coffee shops, hotels, airports. Travels with your laptop.
|
|
|
|
Three resolution modes:
|
|
|
|
- **`forward`** (default) — transparent proxy to your existing system DNS. Everything works as before, just with caching and ad blocking on top. Captive portals, VPNs, corporate DNS — all respected.
|
|
- **`recursive`** — resolve directly from root nameservers. No upstream dependency, no single entity sees your full query pattern. Add `[dnssec] enabled = true` for full chain-of-trust validation.
|
|
- **`auto`** — probe root servers on startup, recursive if reachable, encrypted DoH fallback if blocked.
|
|
|
|
DNSSEC validates the full chain of trust: RRSIG signatures, DNSKEY verification, DS delegation, NSEC/NSEC3 denial proofs. [Read how it works →](https://numa.rs/blog/posts/dnssec-from-scratch.html)
|
|
|
|
**DNS-over-TLS listener** (RFC 7858) — accept encrypted queries on port 853 from strict clients like iOS Private DNS, systemd-resolved, or stubby. Two modes:
|
|
|
|
- **Self-signed** (default) — numa generates a local CA automatically. `numa install` adds it to the system trust store on macOS, Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/RHEL/SUSE, Arch), and Windows. On iOS, install the `.mobileconfig` from `numa setup-phone`. Firefox keeps its own NSS store and ignores the system one — trust the CA there manually if you need HTTPS for `.numa` services in Firefox.
|
|
- **Bring-your-own cert** — point `[dot] cert_path` / `key_path` at a publicly-trusted cert (e.g., Let's Encrypt via DNS-01 challenge on a domain pointing at your numa instance). Clients connect without any trust-store setup — same UX as AdGuard Home or Cloudflare `1.1.1.1`.
|
|
|
|
ALPN `"dot"` is advertised and enforced in both modes; a handshake with mismatched ALPN is rejected as a cross-protocol confusion defense.
|
|
|
|
## LAN Discovery
|
|
|
|
Run Numa on multiple machines. They find each other automatically via mDNS:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Machine A (192.168.1.5) Machine B (192.168.1.20)
|
|
┌──────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────┐
|
|
│ Numa │ mDNS │ Numa │
|
|
│ - api (port 8000) │◄───────────►│ - grafana (3000) │
|
|
│ - frontend (5173) │ discovery │ │
|
|
└──────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From Machine B: `curl http://api.numa` → proxied to Machine A's port 8000. Enable with `numa lan on`.
|
|
|
|
**Hub mode**: run one instance with `bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:53"` and point other devices' DNS to it — they get ad blocking + `.numa` resolution without installing anything.
|
|
|
|

|
|
| Recursive resolver | — | — | Yes | Yes, with SRTT selection |
|
|
| DNSSEC validation | — | — | Yes | Yes (RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519) |
|
|
| Ad blocking | Yes | Yes | — | 385K+ domains |
|
|
| Web admin UI | Full | Full | — | Dashboard |
|
|
| Encrypted upstream (DoH) | Needs cloudflared | Yes | — | Native |
|
|
| Encrypted clients (DoT listener) | Needs stunnel sidecar | Yes | Yes | Native (RFC 7858) |
|
|
| Portable (laptop) | No (appliance) | No (appliance) | Server | Single binary, macOS/Linux/Windows |
|
|
| Community maturity | 56K stars, 10 years | 33K stars | 20 years | New |
|
|
|
|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
691ns cached round-trip. ~2.0M qps throughput. Zero heap allocations in the hot path. Recursive queries average 237ms after SRTT warmup (12x improvement over round-robin). ECDSA P-256 DNSSEC verification: 174ns. [Benchmarks →](bench/)
