# dns2.toast.cafe (eirika.toast.cafe)
This is the toast.cafe recursive resolver.
See also: [https://dns.toast.cafe (anna.toast.cafe)](https://dns.toast.cafe).

Policy: minimal, public configuration, maximum ways to access it (via dnsdist, privately configured).
You can read the configuration [here](/dns2.toast.cafe.yml), and this page's source [here](/index.md).

## Usage
You can use this server through standard DNS UDP/TCP. Here's some examples:

- udp://dns2.toast.cafe
- tcp://dns2.toast.cafe
- udp://2001:41d0:2:299c::
- tcp://94.23.40.156

You can also use [DNSCrypt](https://dnscrypt.info/).
Feel free to decrypt the [stamps](https://dnscrypt.info/stamps/):

- ipv4: sdns://AQcAAAAAAAAAEDk0LjIzLjQwLjE1Njo0NTMgxiw7idkR-hGOwY6iWg6Gfi3RAD8tzNineLEdicQitBQPZG5zMi50b2FzdC5jYWZl
- ipv6: sdns://AQcAAAAAAAAAGFsyMDAxOjQxZDA6MjoyOTljOjpdOjQ1MyDGLDuJ2RH6EY7BjqJaDoZ-LdEAPy3M2Kd4sR2JxCK0FA9kbnMyLnRvYXN0LmNhZmU
- dns: sdns://AQcAAAAAAAAAE2RuczIudG9hc3QuY2FmZTo0NTMgxiw7idkR-hGOwY6iWg6Gfi3RAD8tzNineLEdicQitBQPZG5zMi50b2FzdC5jYWZl

There is also DNS over TLS on port 853.

Finally, there's support for DOH via [https://dns2.toast.cafe/dns-query](https://dns2.toast.cafe/dns-query).
This page may eventually include a client for it.

You may use this service if any of the following apply to you:

- We're friends, or you have an account on anna.toast.cafe.
- You're a friend of someone in the above group.
- You promise to be reasonable with your usage (e.g. you're not running a server farm off of this, just run your own, the config is public!).

Reasonable here is defined by the rate-limit on the server,
which is 50 queries / second per ipv4/32 and ipv6/64,
which is about a query every 20ms.
If you exceed this, you get automatic delays of 100ms to your queries,
i.e. you are throttled down to 10QPS.

## Recommended Configuration
Ideally, you should be running dnsmasq at home, where you advertise its dns settings to your dhcp environment.
The settings here would be:
```
## toast.cafe dns
# dns.toast.cafe (anna.toast.cafe)
server=54.36.104.180
server=2001:41d0:203:18b4::
# dns2.toast.cafe (eirika.toast.cafe)
server=94.23.40.156
server=2001:41d0:2:299c::
```
