Does WinGate DNS resolver support international domains?

May 08 07 10:40 am

I mean Internationalized Domain Name System by i-DNS.net International. I use iClient v7.0 and WinGate 6.1.2 (Build 1094).

With WinGate I can't use cyrillic domain names. But when I do not use WinGate proxy (and use direct Internet connection to my ISP) cyrillic domain names work OK.

E.g. error message: Host name lookup for '%EF%F0%E5%E7%E8%E4%E5%ED%F2.%EE%F0%E3' failed

Hi,

As per the i-DNS.net FAQ section, you must make these International DNS requests to an i-DNS compatible DNS server. WinGate does not translate Interational DNS requests, nor will most other DNS servers as this is not part of the DNS standard.

Regards,

iClient already translate UNICODE domain names to ASCII. What do you mean?

I can't find a list of i-DNS compatible in FAQ.
