TLD Research

For Waxnet, I want users to be able to go to something that looks like a URL, hive.waxnet, speakeasy.waxnet and so on. I know it's possible because .onion does it.

Just finding the right terms is tricky. It's also tricky because there's a lot of ways it could work. Finally, it's weird because it needs to route to a specific port.
