How to insert the CurveCP key into the DNS record

Replace domain, IP, extension, CurveCP key directory with Your domain, IP, extension, CurveCP key directory.

  • domain example.server.com
  • IP 1.2.3.4
  • extension 00000000000000000000000000000000
  • CurveCP key in directory serverkey

    • print the public key encoded in base32:

    /opt/curveprotect/bin/netcurvecpprintkey32 serverkey
ghc5bgs73rmp6n2jzk8bm6bdc8nwz8hw9q424bvl94858fss6fh

    insert the nym uz7 + the CurveCP key and the extension into the DNS record as a CNAME (tinydns format):
