Looking for something.indirection.org? Hostnames here belong to people running their own servers: at home, in a closet, on a Raspberry Pi. If one isn't loading, its server is probably napping. Let its owner know.

indirection.org

All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection.

In computing, indirection means reaching something through a name instead of directly. That's all a hostname is: a name that points to wherever a server happens to be today.

Your traffic takes the scenic route. On purpose.

What is this domain?

indirection.org is a shared home for hostnames. Each name under it belongs to a different person running their own server, through closetserver.com. A name here is theirs, not ours.

Seen a name misused?

Every name here is registered by a person, and we look after the neighbourhood. If one is being used for phishing, malware or anything else it shouldn't be, tell abuse@closetserver.com. We usually act the same day.
