How to setup a TOR Proxy Gateway through Denarius DDNS Naming System using the Names subdomains as the beginning of onion addresses. Going to use Ubuntu 20.04 and Snap daemon. First install Denarius snap daemon and sync the wallet, grab chaindata to make this faster. Install tor sudo apt install tor Using this guide to install dnsmasq https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/516808 Install dnsmasq sudo apt install dnsmasq Disable systemd-resolved sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service Remove resolv.conf sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf Now we are going to add the Denarius DDNS and nameservers in. sudo /etc/dnsmasq.d/03-denarius-wildcard.conf add these to the file server=/d/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/dnr/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/denarii/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/king/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/ipfs/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/sys/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/btc/127.0.0.1#5333 server=/bitcoin/127.0.0.1#5333 Edit resolv.conf for our new name servers sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf Add in a clearnet nameserver and the Denarius DDNS localhost nameserver nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 8.8.8.8 Restart dnsmasq sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq Ping a Denarius DDNS site like http://magnets.king ping magnets.king If the ping works this part is working. Setup Tor. sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc Add these lines to the top. HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ddns/ HiddenServiceVersion 3 HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 Restart Tor service to get our onion address. sudo service tor restart sudo cat /var/lib/tor/ddns/hostname I get 3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion Setup NGINX sudo apt install nginx Edit the default config file because I am lazy sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default Add this in and adjust the onion address server { listen 127.0.0.1:80; server_name ~^(?<subdomain>.+)\.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid\.onion$; location / { resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=30s; proxy_pass http://$subdomain; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; } } Restart nginx. sudo service nginx restart Open up TOR Browser and go to Denarius DDNS names like this http://wiki.d.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ http://stats.d.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ http://satoshi.bitcoin.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ http://magnets.king.3lervphhwefgayia6fvbdokw2avdev3pa5u4h4bjhhonetl3z67uzeid.onion/ You should now have a a Tor Proxy gateway that can see the Denarius names as a wildcard catchall subdomain. Adjust for only sites you run or for clearnet sites you run to give newbies an easy way to check out a decentralized naming system on a blockchain.

How to upgrade the Denarius v3.3.9.11 wallet, QT or Daemon, now with DDNS, decentralized Domain support. The idea here is to not force a mandatory protocol upgrade, we can swap the wallet and either sync from block 0, or use chaindata. This will be wordy, but its not too many steps. Latest binaries - https://github.com/carsenk/denarius/releases First stop wallet and backup wallet.dat somewhere safe, like a USB thumbdrive. Download the v3.3.9.11 binary or compile from source. Unzip to wherever you normally run the binary from. For Windows you just replace your existing Denarius.exe file. Delete the files in the chaindata folder and keep denarius.conf fortunastake.conf wallet.dat. Data Directory Locations OS Data Directory Windows %APPDATA%\Denarius macOS /Library/Application Support/Denarius Linux ~/.denarius/ Now you can choose to sync from block 0 or download chaindata.zip from https://denarii.cloud/ . Put this file in your above Data Directory and unzip in place. After unzipping chaindata.zip, restart the wallet. Common new options in denarius.conf DDNS=1 turns on the local DDNS support to resolve directly from the wallet, turn off with 0. Might be handy when running multiple wallets on same computer. DDNSPORT=5333 default port for DDNS, that can be changed, might be handy if running multiple wallets on same computer with DDNS=1 Don't forget to checkout how to get started with Denarius DDNS NVS.

Lets start by making 2 things. First we will create a name called @example which someone can send denarius to. And then we will create a basic domain. Load the wallet and get some Denarius coins. We will need this to pay the fee + fee to miners to create / update / delete records. Go to the NVS screen or debug console to fill this in. I am going to use Debug console for most of the guide as its easier at the moment. Example of what this looks like in the debug console. name_new @blockforumsexample "In Denarius We Trust" 365 We then get a tx hash Under the My Denarius Names tab as you wait for the transaction to happen you will see a yellow highlight. Once the transaction goes through the yellow hightlight disappears and you now have your @name added to your wallet. To show your name type below name_show @blockforumsexample and you get { "name" : "@blockforumsexample", "value" : "In Denarius We Trust", "txid" : "1f19ede29c259cbb7335bf72f97942a3a23a941c0da7d557f74ce4f964ace842", "address" : "DR8f9v3WXqzRim7B4VzeKVYi6GG1jtpyhL", "expires_in" : 1051199, "expires_at" : 5265039, "time" : 1612055193 } To send to the name type sendtoname @blockforumsexample 1.337
