# Muninn
Muninn is a distributed consensus DNS server. It aims to make the internet more
secure and censorship resistant by distributing DNS infrastructure into the
hands of the users. Muninn operates in tandem with the existing internet, and
is most valuable when used alongside existing security tools like DoH clients,
VPNs, Tor, and strict HTTPS. Muninn enables local networks of likeminded peers
to have their own private DNS layer, individuals to have their own user
configurable, censorship resistant DNS cache, or broad groups of people to share
their own autonomous domain name service.
# Project State
The loose plan to implement Muninn is as follows:
1. Repo that uses NGINX subtree to build a new core module
2. DNS core module accepts requests and manages a pool lifetime
3. Client can get DNS entries directly from NGINX resolver
4. DNS records are cached in a table available to all workers
5. DNS table is directly editable by some user accessible API
6. Muninn can be configured to connect to peers and synchronize entry updates
7. Muninn traverses peers to build a DHT of peers to sync with
8. User can configure allowlists and denylists of peers in DHT
9. Muninn can identify as authoritatively owning a certain DN (and Peers abide).
10. Something other than logging is done for conflicts over who owns what DN
Currently Muninn is on phase 2.
