Masq is a simple local dns server likeDNSMasq. The first version was extracted fromPow.

Please note: Masq is only worked on macOS right now.

中文说明

As it is not possible to use wildcards in the/etc/hosts file, we cannot specify something like:

127.0.0.1 *.dev.

To get around this problem, we will install a DNS proxy, like DNSMasq. If you are a JavaScript Developer, you can give a try with Masq.

Masq/Pow'sDnsServer is designed to respond to DNSA queries with127.0.0.1 for all subdomains of the specified top-level domain.When used in conjunction with Mac OS X's/etc/resolver system, there's no configuration needed to add and remove host names for local web development.

$ npm install -g masq

The user configuration file,~/.masqconfig, is evaluated on boot. You can configure options such as the top-level domain, listening ports.

export MASQ_DOMAINS=dev,test

Then you can runmasq --print-config, it will output like this:

$ masq --print-configMASQ_BIN='/path/to/masq/bin/masq'MASQ_DNS_PORT='20560'MASQ_DOMAINS='dev,test'

If all is ok, runmasq --install-system to install DNS configuration files (needsudo):

$ sudo masq --install-system

Then simply start it:

masq

Now, if we try to ping some any address ending in.dev, it should return127.0.0.1:

$ ping example.devPING example.dev (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes

Generate daemon configuration file:

$ masq --install-local

Then:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/cx.masq.masqd.plist
