How to use your own DNS with frii.site?

NOTE

Unless you are self hosting your own DNS, this will most likely not work. Companies such as Cloudflare will not allow you to do this, since we are not on the Public Suffix List yet

1. Create a new NS record

Create an NS record inside frii.site

frii.site record register

2. Set the value to your DNS server

Set the value of your new NS record to your DNS server. For this example, we are going to be using ns1.frii.sitefrii.site NS value modified to ns1.frii.site

3. Create a DNS zone for your new domain

We need to create a new zone for your record. For this guide, we are going to be using PowerDNS's web portal, but you could use something like BIND9. DNS portal creating new zone

NOTE

Most of the settings listed above can be left as is.

4. Create the required records for your domain

We need to create DNS records for your domain. Only one record is required, but we recommend you to create two, since we are going to be supporting multiple NS records over on frii.site in the future.

Create an apex NS record (@), pointing to your DNS server.

5. Try it out!

Create a new record on your new zone, and try pinging it. DNS portal containing records

This is what a succesfull response should look like Terminal ping command
