Didn't last long?

> sci-hub.hns/ could not be resolved by HNS.to. Please try another Handshake resolver..

It resolves for me! Try installing a handshake resolver directly like hsd [1] for full chain or hnsd [2] for SPV.

[2] https://GitHub.com/handshake-org/hnsd

Neither of those have binary releases. I just wanted to install some handshake addon to nextdns and visit sci hub. Is this possible at all or is there non-zero configuration required?

I enabled Handshake in the NextDNS settings and it resolves fine for me.

If you have NextDNS just enable Handshake in settings.

I have NextDNS, enabled Handshake in settings, and still doesn't resolve.

If you're on Windows, try flushing your DNS cache. Open the command prompt and type:

ipconfig /flushdns

It still doesn't open the link to sci hub.

http://sci-hub.hns/ resolves for me too, but I get a 503 - Service Unavailable.

Didn't work for me either. I'm not that impressed compared with my usual technique of going to the site's Wikipedia page to see how to access it. Works for thing's like Sci Hub, Popcorn Time and the Daily Stormer.

This is actually an awesome tip for sci-hub though that I'll be using.

Not really a fan but it's a bit of a poster child for 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it' discussions. I figure while that's still up there's adequate free speech on the internet.

Not sure if what? Say it out loud.

Vaguely implying that you're considering a drastic remark about someone else is barely better than an accusation. It's like "no offense, but".

Or if you don't have something specific in mind then just leave it out of the comment.

> It's like "no offense, but"

No offense, but this was a strange micro-rant.

And you still won't say it out loud, huh.

Per the announcement tweet [1], HNS.to is just a gateway with limited uptime guarantees. It's much better to connect directly via NextDNS.
