Magic DNS

EasyTier supports a Magic DNS feature similar to Tailscale, allowing users to access other nodes via domain names without remembering virtual IP addresses. Simply add the --accept-dns parameter during startup to enable the Magic DNS feature.

Magic DNS uses 100.100.100.101 as the default DNS server address. You can ping this address to test whether Magic DNS is successfully enabled.

If Magic DNS is successfully enabled, and the hostname of Node A is node-a, other nodes can access Node A via node-a.et.net.

ping node-a.et.net

Hostnames support Chinese characters.

Note

Currently, Magic DNS only supports automatic configuration of system DNS on Windows and macOS. On Linux, you need to manually configure the DNS server to 100.100.100.101 for normal use.
