2. What Easy HNS is
Easy HNS is a public DNS resolver service and related information site intended to help users access Handshake domains more easily, alongside standard DNS resolution.
The HNS DoH global pool is operated by the separate HNS DoH project, not by Easy HNS. Easy HNS terms, operational responsibility, support scope, and service commitments apply only to Easy HNS-operated services and do not extend to that external global pool.
3. Best-effort service
Easy HNS is provided on a best-effort basis.
We do not promise that the service will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, fast, compatible with every device, or suitable for every purpose. We may change, suspend, limit, or withdraw the service at any time.
Easy HNS is not offered with any service level agreement unless we expressly state otherwise in writing.
4. Acceptable use
You must not use Easy HNS:
- for unlawful activity;
- to attack, overload, probe, or degrade the service;
- to evade rate limits, blocks, or technical protections;
- to distribute malware, phishing content, or other harmful material;
- to interfere with other users, networks, or systems;
- in a way that creates unreasonable operational, security, or legal risk for us or third parties.
We may apply filtering, rate limiting, temporary blocks, or permanent restrictions where reasonably necessary to protect the service.
5. No reliance for critical use
Easy HNS is not intended as a guaranteed, safety-critical, emergency, or life-dependent service.
You are responsible for deciding whether the service is appropriate for your own use case.
6. Third-party domains and content
Easy HNS resolves or helps access domain names and destinations that are not operated or controlled by us.
We do not own, control, endorse, or guarantee third-party websites, content, or services reached through DNS resolution.
7. Privacy and operational limits
Easy HNS offers encrypted DNS options where supported, but it is still a real public DNS service running on real infrastructure.
However, like any real online service, some limited technical data may still be processed transiently in operation, or exceptionally for abuse prevention, fault diagnosis, service protection, security incidents, or legal compliance.
8. Support contributions
Easy HNS may offer voluntary support options to help cover infrastructure, maintenance, and future development.
Unless expressly stated otherwise:
- support contributions are voluntary support payments;
- support contributions are not charitable donations;
- no Gift Aid is available;
- making a support contribution does not create a guaranteed service level, uptime commitment, bespoke resolver arrangement, or paid support contract.
If a support offering includes specific perks, access, or features, those details will be described on the relevant offer page.
9. Third-party checkout, billing, and subscriptions
Support contributions may be offered through third-party platforms such as Whop.
Where this is the case:
- billing, checkout, and subscription handling may be provided by that third-party platform;
- any pricing, billing interval, renewal terms, cancellation methods, refund process, and checkout terms shown on the relevant offer page or at checkout will apply to that support plan;
- you should review the applicable third-party platform terms and policies before purchase.
Nothing in these terms limits any mandatory rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
