Join the WPAD Project!
Do you own a wpad.tld
domain ?Then we are very much interrested :)
Also if you don't want to own the wpad.tld
domain any longer, we are willing to buy it and host it going forward.
Checkout the wpad.dat

How to participate
All you need to do is to point your wpad.tld
domain our way.
We will handle the rest. This hole backend is setup as one big "catch-all" site for wpad.* domains.
So any wpad domains can actually be pointed here, but yeah only the tld level domains have interest.
You can then always connect with us via Discord if you have questions.
We plan on making a simple API that would allow anyone interrested to access the database
with all the statistical data.
Change you DNS settings for wpad.tld
Set the following:
@ A 13.50.169.80
@ AAAA 2a05:d016:234:2010:7a92:f7ca:bae0:1142
@ TXT "WPAD-Project enlisted"
Transfer domain to us
In case you don't feel comfortable with any of this and you no longer need the wpad.tld
domain.
Please don't hesitate to tell us, we are always willing to let you transfer the domain to us. Then we can setup/handle the DNS and cost.
The "catch-all" benefit
As we run a "catch-all" on wpad.*
you could actually point your current company domain
to us in case you wanted to secure that it did not end up further down the "detection" chain.
So let's say you use the following for your clients wpad.branch.company.com
and you
don't have a global one on wpad.company.com
. You could point that to us and you
would always be sure that it would not go any further.
But please note that this would actually send a lot of daily traffic our way and should be coordinated with us beforehand :)
