Edit this page on GitHubResolving Handshake
This guide walks through how to visit Handshake websites using HNS.to, browsers, public Handshake DNS resolvers, and local resolvers. Each method may be more or less useful to you depending on the situation.
HNS.to
HNS.to is a simple gateway that doesn’t require local software or configuration. It’s useful for sharing Handshake websites publicly.
Browsers
Puma Browser is a mobile browser that supports Handshake websites. The SkyInclude Browser is the current open-source desktop option. Join the Handshake Telegram community to stay up-to-date on browser support efforts.
Public Handshake DNS Resolvers
HNSDoH
HNSDoH is a public DNS resolver that supports Handshake domains.
Local Resolution
You can run a Handshake resolver locally using the Handshake fullnode or SPV client without relying on any third party providers. This is the most trustless way to resolve Handshake.
