  ExploreDNS v1.1.0 Stable

  gary released this 2026-07-07 15:16:11 +00:00 | 4 commits to main since this release

  The web interface grows up: this release brings the dns.squish.net-style
  traversal detail tree and a geolocated server map to the browser, plus
  operational features for running ExploreDNS as a public service — rate
  limiting, optional usage reporting, and automated release engineering.

  Highlights

  Live traversal detail tree. The web UI now renders every query as it
  happens in a refid-numbered tree mirroring the original dns.squish.net
  detail view: status chips per node (referral / answered / error), glue
  resolution subtrees collapsed behind per-node "show resolve" toggles,
  italic -- completed earlier markers for fast-mode reuse, and a raw
  event log behind a toggle for debugging.

  Server map. After each traversal the server fingerprints every
  nameserver it encountered (version.bind) and the UI plots them on an
  OpenStreetMap/Leaflet map with a Country / City / Servers / Software
  table beneath — geolocation happens client-side via geojs.io, so there
  are no API keys and no server-side tracking. Also available raw at
  GET /api/traverse/{id}/servers.

  Public-service guardrails. Traversal starts are now rate-limited per
  client IP (default 30/hour, tunable via EXPLOREDNS_RATE_LIMIT,
  Fly-Client-IP/X-Forwarded-For aware) on top of the existing
  concurrency cap and hard timeout. Direct localhost use is exempt, so
  local workflows stay unthrottled.

  Optional usage reporting. Set EXPLOREDNS_WEBHOOK_URL and the server
  POSTs a JSON event when a traversal starts and another when it completes
  (duration, status, result count, and the summary). Delivery is
  fire-and-forget with a short timeout and one retry — a slow or dead
  receiver can never delay a user's traversal. Off by default; exact
  payload shapes are documented in the README.

  Release engineering. exploredns --version / -V reports the build
  version (also in GET /api/health, alongside the Fly region serving the
  request). From this release onward, every v* tag automatically builds
  and attaches binaries for Linux (amd64/arm64), macOS (amd64/arm64), and
  Windows (amd64) with SHA256SUMS, pushes version-tagged Docker images,
  and deploys the hosted instance.

  Plus: a favicon — the delegation tree in 32 pixels, green leaf for
  the answered path.

  Upgrading from v1.0.0

  • No CLI changes; output and flags are unchanged.
  • Web API: rate limiting is on by default (30 traversals/hour per
    client IP → HTTP 429 beyond that). Raise or lower it with
    EXPLOREDNS_RATE_LIMIT="N/duration".
  • /api/health now includes version (and region when running on
    Fly.io).
  • New endpoint: GET /api/traverse/{id}/servers; SSE streams emit a
    servers stage event when fingerprints are ready.
