Sovereign DNS for Cambodia.
Authoritative and recursive DNS infrastructure, operated inside Cambodia, governed by Cambodian law.
CNX operates authoritative and recursive DNS services for Cambodian institutions, and supports the national DNS ecosystem by hosting root server instances and PCH ccTLD and gTLD infrastructure at the exchange — supported by PCH, APNIC, and Netnod. Root queries from inside Cambodia resolve locally, on CNX infrastructure, without touching an international link.
Control over DNS is control over access to your services. Whoever determines where your domain resolves determines whether your applications are reachable, whether your users can authenticate, and under whose legal framework that access is governed. CNX keeps that control inside Cambodia — a national anycast infrastructure across multiple independent domestic nodes, with public-internet traffic handled by a separate bulkhead fleet on dedicated transit links.
DNSSEC is enabled on every zone by default. Zone-signing keys are held in Hardware Security Modules — generated in-country, non-exportable — with automated rollover and full audit logging.
CNX DNS Shield provides authoritative DNS with anycast resilience, DNSSEC, and HSM-backed key management — operated entirely inside Cambodia.

Zone Transfer
Keep your existing DNS server and workflow. CNX connects via authenticated zone transfer, signs your zone, and distributes it across the anycast network. No change to how your team manages records today.
Managed Origin
No DNS server required. Every production zone change requires two-person approval: one authorised person proposes it and a different authorised person approves it before deployment. The CNX-managed Git workflow integrates with SSO and produces daily signed audit reports.
For applications: recursive DNS, not just authoritative
DNS Shield covers your domain's authoritative records. The DNS Resolver covers the other side — the queries your own mobile or web app makes outbound. It's a private resolver dedicated to a single application, with a pre-warmed cache tuned to that app's own domains and dependencies, integrated over standard DoH, DoT, or DoQ. Every answer comes from inside Cambodia.
DNS ResolverLive DNS telemetry
Premium DNS customers receive live operations, platform, sampled query-detail, and unsampled query-summary feeds for ingestion into their SIEM or analytics platform. Delivery is isolated per customer and includes the event and classification fields needed to correlate configuration changes, signing activity, serving state, and query behaviour.
