What is SlowDNS?
A DNS tunnel is a method of bypassing network censorship by using DNS queries to transmit data. DNS, or Domain Name System, is used to translate domain names into IP addresses. SlowDNS utilizes DNS queries for tunneling data, allowing you to circumvent restrictions that might be placed on direct data transmission.
Benefits of SlowDNS
- Bypasses network censorship and restrictions.
- Allows for secure data transmission over a DNS tunnel.
Using SSH Direct with SlowDNS in ZIVPN
SSH Direct with SlowDNS is a feature in the ZIVPN app that allows you to tunnel data using DNS. Here’s how you can configure and use this feature:
1. In-App SlowDNS Account
Follow these steps to use SlowDNS directly from the ZIVPN app:
- Access the Server List: Double-click on the field in the ZIVPN app's main interface where "user:pass@ip:port" hints are shown. A dropdown server list will appear.
- Watch an Ad: Select the server location you want to access and watch the ad. You will receive a free SSH account with 1-day validity. This account supports multiple tunneling methods, including SSH, SlowDNS, Stunnel, and WebSocket Tunnel.
- Server Locations: To get an account for a different server location, watch an ad for that specific location.
- Open the DNS Tunnel Setting Menu: Access the menu and input your desired DNS server address in the DNS field.
- Select SSH Direct + SlowDNS: Check the box to enable the SlowDNS feature and connect using the configured DNS server.
2. Create a SlowDNS Account Through Any Provider
If you prefer, you can create a SlowDNS account through any SSH account provider. Here’s how:
- Account Creation: Create a SlowDNS account from any SSH account provider.
- Configure in ZIVPN: Enter the account information in the ZIVPN app's SSH authentication text field using the "user:pass@ip:port" format and DNS server address in the ZIVPN app's DNS settings field.
