# Adding a DNS proof
Let's add a decentralized DNS proof to your OpenPGP keys.
[[toc]]
## Update DNS records for your website
Add the following TXT record to the DNS records of the (sub)domain you want to prove control over (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
`openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT`
No specific TTL value is required.
## Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
`gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT`
Add a new notation:
`notation`
Enter the notation (make sure to replace DOMAIN, don't include https://):
`proof@metacode.biz=dns:DOMAIN?type=TXT`
Save the key:
`save`
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to [keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
`gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT`
