At Alvosec, we're proud to introduce the world's first DNS that interacts seamlessly with blockchain technology. Our platform empowers users to report malicious domains via blockchain, earning tokens for every report made. But before diving into the revolutionary features of Xprotect, let's take a moment to understand the backbone of internet functionality: the Domain Name System (DNS).
Nearly everything you do on your desktops, laptops, phones, and tablets begins with a Domain Name System (DNS) query. Essentially, DNS turns domain names (such as google.com) into an IP address so web browsers and apps know where to get the information you want.
It is important to emphasize that most of these ISP DNS services doesn't include any protection, meaning that any malicious website can be accessed through browser.
Here you can see ProtonDNS, now rebranded as Xprotect, compared with major DNS providers such as AdGuard, Quad9, Cloudflare, and others. The statistics below measure the performance of several blocklists and DNS providers by counting the number of blacklisted domain names and comparing them against each other. Source
Xprotect DNS steps in to fill this critical gap by delivering real-time security updates across all devices. Our threat intelligence system offers diverse protection mechanisms, safeguarding users from various online threats.
Our threat intelligence system offers various forms of protection for all users and includes features where access is restricted, such as:
✅ infected domains
✅ phishing & crypto drainer domains
✅ domains that host ransomware
✅ annoying ads
✅ typosquatting domains
✅ websites that are deceptive or fraudulent
✅ most abused TLDs (*.tk, *.ml)
✅ fake crypto exchanges
✅ NRD (newly registered domains)
✅ cryptojacking domains
✅ and many more…
To configure your DNS settings to leverage the full power of Xprotect:
DoH:
IPv4:
142.132.237.65
142.132.230.65
IPv6:
2a01:4f8:c012:6d76::1
2a01:4f8:c012:6d9c::1
But what sets Xprotect apart isn't just its enhanced security measures; it's also the innovative approach to user authentication. Say goodbye to complicated email-password combinations – Xprotect utilizes WebAuth wallet for seamless, QR code-based authentication, enhancing both security and user experience.
Switching to WebAuth for authentication offers a significant upgrade from the outdated method of using email and passwords. With WebAuth, the process is not only more sophisticated but also far easier.
Let's explore some of the standout features of Xprotect:
Our DNS section enables users to report suspicious domains via the XPR Network blockchain. Each report earns users XPR tokens, incentivizing proactive participation in maintaining a safer internet environment. Plus, our DNS supports DNSSEC and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for enhanced security and privacy.
Xprotect's domain intelligence solution is tailor-made for Web3 environments, leveraging advanced technologies to detect and mitigate threats targeting Web3 users, such as phishing and malware attacks.
The service employs a comprehensive domain scan, thoroughly examining all aspects to detect any signs indicating the website's potential safety concerns. It assigns a trust score that is easily understandable to users, where a higher score corresponds to a lower risk level.
This tool allows users to explore the reputation of others on the XPR Network blockchain, providing insights into their activity, validation status, and more. Additionally, users can report fraudulent behavior through a smart contract.
Signing a message involves using cryptography to confirm your ownership of your cryptocurrency address. Additionally, signing a message in the blockchain means attaching a digital signature to a message to guarantee its authenticity and integrity. Our services provides very simple way to sign & verify message integrity.
Our DNS offers the ability to transform Web3 vanity names into fully accessible domains compatible with any browser. To delve deeper into this feature, check out our article: Enhancing XPR Network Vanity Names with *.xpr.name
Stay informed with simplified XPR Network statistics, including transaction metrics and blockchain status updates, providing valuable insights for users.
Securely lock away your tokens with our smart contract-enabled vault, allowing users to hold their assets for a specified period, ensuring peace of mind and long-term investment security.
(Only users who are whitelisted can access this feature; any user can request to be added to the whitelist.)
Xprotect goes beyond being a typical DNS platform – it's a game-changer for internet security and ease of use. Join us in making the internet safer and more user-friendly with Xprotect. Learn more and get involved at xprotect.org.
