Highlights

Query Rate Limiting

Added pkdns arguments to support rate limiting dns queries by IP address. This reduces the attack surface on the forward DNS and the DHT.

      --query-rate-limit <query-rate-limit>
          Maximum number of queries per second one IP address can make before it is rate limited. 0 is disabled. [default: 0]
      --query-rate-limit-burst <query-rate-limit-burst>
          Short term burst size of the query-rate-limit. 0 is disabled. [default: 0]
      --dht-rate-limit <dht-rate-limit>
          Maximum number of queries per second one IP address can make to the DHT before it is rate limited. 0 is disabled. [default: 5]
      --dht-rate-limit-burst <dht-rate-limit-burst>
          Short term burst size of the dht-rate-limit. 0 is disabled. [default: 25]

Queries to the DHT are now rate limited by default.

Simplified Publish Command

BREAKING: pkdns-cli publish only publishes the pkarr.zone once. The parameter --once has been removed. Use crontab to continuously publish the zone.

Improved TTL Caching

Pkarr zones are now cached dynamically depending on the configured TTL of the zone. Before, zones would only be cached for 60s. Use the new pkdns argument to configure min/max ttl values. Set the max to 0 for quick dev iterations.

      --min-ttl <min-ttl>
          Minimum number of seconds a value is cached for before being refreshed. [default: 60]
      --max-ttl <max-ttl>
          Maximum number of seconds before a cached value gets auto-refreshed. [default: 86400]

publickey command

Derive a public key from a seed with pkdns-cli publickey.

Use $ttl variable in pkarr.zone

Use the $ttl variable in the pkarr.zone to define cache times. You can also define ttls over individual records. Use the standard
dns zone format to set ttls.

Example:

$TTL 300
@                  IN	  A	    127.0.0.1
subdomain  86400   IN	  A	    127.0.0.1   

In this case, the default ttl is 300 (5min). subdomain has a custom ttl of 86400 (1 day).
