DNS over SMS, send a text message to 1(833)672-1001
- HocusLocus 8y agoOpenBSD kernel support soon
- heavenlyblue 8y agoRFC pending.
- FullyFunctional 8y agoDoesn't appear to handle names with dashes
- matthewgall 8y agoCreator here. I've done some testing myself with domains with hyphens, and it appears to be working for me. I did fix a limited edge case that may have caused issues. Drop me an e-mail: mgall [at] cloudflare if you can reproduce and I can look again.
- FullyFunctional 7y agoI dropped two e-mails, but I don't know if you got them (got no reply).
- leshokunin 8y agoNot low tech enough. Hopefully they’ll consider pigeon based DNS for those cases when you don’t have cel tower reception: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
- dvhh 8y agoLet's not get ahead of ourselves and try with fax and phonebook before.
- matthewgall 8y agoCreator here. I was actually contemplating DNS-over-Letter, but I couldn't find a great way of handling requests that I could make reasonably safe for people who would have to handle them.
- leshokunin 8y agoIt doesn't have to be people. Have you considered using crabs? https://phys.org/news/2012-04-scientists-crab-powered.html https://phys.org/news/2012-04-scientists-crab-powered.html

- tssva 8y agoI assume by safe for those handling them his main concerns for DNS via letter would be letter bombs and letters containing toxic substances such as anthrax powder or ricin.
- matthewgall 8y agoThat and I planned to put stickers and stuff in. Asking for return envelopes and addresses seems a little bit terrible :)
- Crosseye_Jack 8y agoOh I see, People mail in a DNS request and you return it. > Asking for return envelopes and addresses seems a little bit terrible :) How else you going to reply with the DNS Record? ;-) EDIT: Also thanks for the DNS Via SMS service. I've already used it twice for legit reasons. Who would of thought that having an out of band DNS service would be handy.
- pests 8y agoThis does not work with domains with hyphens. It seems to think it's part of the record type or stripping it off.

- anderiv 8y agoAgreed with the parent, I tried to resolve a name in the format: app.example-foo.com, and got a “no records found for foo.com” error.
- Wheaties466 8y agoIt defaults to AAAA records so you may need to type A app.example-foo.com it worked for me
- matthewgall 8y agoAll about the future! A records are old school :)
- anderiv 8y agoSee my addition above - this still seems to be broken.
- anderiv 8y agoSo in my case, I actually performed an explicit CNAME lookup. The fact that the error message says "We couldn't find any CNAME records for foo.com" tells me that the name parser is still not handling hyphens correctly.
- ehPReth 8y agoNote to those in Canada: although calling a toll-free number is... toll-free... sending an SMS to one may incur you an international (USA) SMS fee per message unfortunately :/ This turned out a big thorn in my side when I, as a Canadian, wanted to make my existing toll-free number hosted with Flowroute then Twilio my primary contact number. Maybe there's some magic to make the number 'Canadian' such as hosting it with a Canadian provider, but just a heads up that not all toll-free are that when it comes to SMS (even though in this instance you're only likely to try it a couple times) :)
- matthewgall 8y agoCreator here. I've just added (289) 276-1001 for all our Canadian friends to save you a few cents as opposed to international rates :)
- m-p-3 8y agoAwesome, thanks!
- matthewgall 8y agoMy pleasure :)
- FrankSansC 8y ago$ nslookup > set type=TXT > dani.cloudflare.com Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Non-authoritative answer: dani.cloudflare.com text = "Dani rocks."
- adulau 8y agoWe tried from three European mobile numbers (France, Luxembourg, Belgium) but it doesn't work.
- matthewgall 8y agoCreator here. This should now be resolved.
- mirages 8y agofor the US number if from international, are we supposed to include the number between parenthesis [+1(833)672-1001] when dialing ?
- matthewgall 8y agoIf you're texting internationally, it's 0018336721001 :)
- Naac 8y agoSo theoretically tunneling over DNS ( iodine ) should work with this too right?
- FredFS456 8y agoI think iodine uses records that wouldn't fit in a single SMS. I'm not sure whether cloudflare supports splitting records over multiple SMS's...
- matthewgall 8y agoCreator here. I could probably work something out. Let me have a ponder. mgall [at] cloudflare if you want to try it out.
- westmeal 8y agoHahaha this is really neat I don't know what I'll use it for but...
