## PNS

The browser runs an PNS service in the background, which will be started automatically when

the browser detects the first access to.

The service itself is configured in client mode, that means that you are only be able

A **PNS** server implementation is available as an android

application [Odin](https://gitlab.com/lp2p/odin/).
