Topic: [NMC] Faster browsing with Acrylic DNS Proxy (cache) - .bit enabled - page 2. (Read 19910 times)

Interesting, I wonder if there is a way to make it do look ups from a local namecoin+ncproxy or similar?

thank you
but why do you think "Alternate cryptocurrencies" is the right section for this? ...

Acrylic DNS Proxy is a cool open source tool to locally proxy and cache your dns requests. This will save you a couple milliseconds on page loads making browsing feel more fluent. It also lets you query multiple DNS servers at once to proceed with the fastest response.
Also it is quite easy to set it up with additional Namecoin based dot-bit dns servers for *.bit dns queries.

Config file with fast Google DNS servers and .bit support via Khal's and Bitmaster's server:
http://blockchained.com/stuff/AcrylicConfiguration.ini
To install follow the detailed instructions on the Acrylic website. It is quite easy. You can then replace the config file with the one above.
If you feel uncomfortable about Google seeing your non .bit DNS requests you can use your regular DNS servers from your internet provider by doing this: In the configuration file above replace both Google servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 by the ip address of your local network standard gateway ip address (192.168.0.1 on most systems) or other DNS servers of your choice (both fields need to be set).
