MasterDnsVPN is a research-oriented DNS tunneling VPN project that carries TCP traffic through DNS queries and responses. It is designed for restrictive network environments where DNS may remain available even when other connection methods are limited. The project focuses on stability, speed, and compatibility across different resolver behaviors. It uses a custom protocol with ARQ, low overhead, resolver balancing, and multipath behavior to improve performance under packet loss. MasterDnsVPN also includes client and server configuration files, Docker support, and installation scripts for easier deployment. It is best understood as an experimental transport system for DNS-based tunneling rather than a general-purpose commercial VPN.
