Description

Hello folks,

Hyperboria is an experimental encrypted (at the network level) mesh-network, powered by the [cjdns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cjdns) routing software. Each host is assigned an IPv6 address in the fc00::/8 range, which corresponds to public/private keypair.

To join the network, users exchange peering credentials with each other. Often, this happens over PGP encrypted e-mail. It'd be wonderful if Keybase.io (the website) was accessible over the network. The convention is to use an AAAA record pointed at the cjdns IPv6 address, at h.domain.tld

There are a few public peers available, but in the interest of stability, it's best to peer with pre-arranged nodes. I (and other members of the community) would be happy to do this.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reviewing how keybase.io is hosted and where its DNS records are managed, then assess the Hyperboria and cjdns peering requirements described in the issue. Done means the website is reachable over Hyperboria with the appropriate AAAA record and a stable peering arrangement.
