Siderite's DNS Resolver

Resolve DNS addresses based on previously working IPs

What is Siderite's DNS Resolver?

"Siderite's DNS Resolver" is a Chrome extension that works in the background to remember prior host-to-IP resolutions. In case a Domain Name System (DNS) server fails, the extension provides a count of failed DNS that has cached IPs. It allows you to copy-paste this information into the hosts' file to ensure resolution to the known IP. Offering an 'auto-replace' option, it replaces the host with IP, with certain limitations. The extension strictly respects your privacy by not communicating externally, but only caching visited host data.

Chrome extension to remember previously resolved domain name IPs, in case DNS server goes down or IP is blocked.

It just runs in the background, remembering DNS resolutions (host to IP) until DNS fails. It then counts the number of DNS failures that it has an IP cached for. Click on the DNS Resolver icon and you can copy/paste the necessary information to copy into the hosts file (which on Windows is in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts) to force the resolution to the known IP. You can try to "auto replace", which replaces host with the IP, but this will fail in case there are multiple domains on the same IP (as many online platforms).

The extension does not communicate with the outside, but it does cache a list of hosts you visit.
