Hi, everyone!
We have launched our own autonomous DNS infrastructure with authoritative DNS servers and a dedicated domain-zone management system. This allows us to independently create and operate DNS zones, register domains within TLDs assigned to us, and operate without relying on third-party registrars or domain service providers.
As part of this infrastructure, we are able to independently manage our own TLDs and provide users with domain registration within these zones. In particular, the .free zone is currently available, allowing anyone to register a domain in the form <name>.free free of charge. Registration does not require creating an account or providing any personal information.
To register a domain, send the desired domain name via a private message to one of the team members through the current endpoint (Quasar Hyper Verse). After the request has been reviewed and approved, the domain will be registered and added to the corresponding authoritative DNS zone.
Our authoritative DNS infrastructure is responsible directly for the domain zones we operate and serves as the authoritative source of DNS records for those zones. Separately, we provide a user-facing DNS resolver for connecting to the infrastructure. It resolves DNS queries and provides access both to our domain zones and to existing public zones (.com, .org, etc.), so using our DNS does not restrict access to regular domains.
To connect, you can manually configure the provided DNS servers in your device or network settings. A simpler option is to use our VPN, which is already configured to use the required DNS settings automatically.
For HTTPS and TLS on registered domains, we provide our own certificate infrastructure. To use TLS/SSL certificates issued by us, you must install our root certificate <root-ca.crt> in the trusted root certificate store of your operating system or other software being used.
We also provide our own ACME server, which allows TLS certificates for registered domains to be obtained and renewed automatically. This makes it possible to use standard ACME clients and automate certificate management for HTTPS.
In summary, the infrastructure provides our own authoritative DNS servers and DNS zones, the ability to independently manage assigned TLDs and register domains, user-facing DNS resolvers for access to the infrastructure, free domain registration in the .free zone, our own CA for TLS/HTTPS, and an ACME server for automatic certificate issuance and renewal.
