That’s a fair point and we’d be open to ideas on how to improve that aspect to make it more accessible to end users, especially the less technically savvy ones. Please feel free to reach out directly either on or off list to discuss further. Currently there is no single hostname like the old SKS network to direct the client towards one of the currently operating peer nodes listed @ https://spider.pgpkeys.eu/sks-peers While that previous architecture that powered the sks-keyservers pools (i.e. dynamic DNS CNAMEs & 3rd-party issued certificates for hkps) served the communities effectively for a number of years it was ultimately too constricting and prevented the network from continuing to operate once the domain/key owner went MIA before finally deciding to pull the plug several years ago. -T
