GNS does not "square" Zooko's Triangle. It relies on petnames as said above, so names are purely local, like /etc/hosts. The global identifier used by each Zone is an opaque identifier, like IPFS hashes, that is not human memorable.

It's a very similar UX, but doesn't have anything to do with onion routing.
