Tagboard down

[pearldrums000]

Not that it's the end of the world or anything, but it's been a couple days and I'm curious. What's up with the tagboard?

Have a good one everyone!

Are you still having trouble? I moved the DNS over to another DNS provider (since google domains got sold to squarespace, and squarespace does not support DDNS).

Tagboard still is down

Thanks,

I'll see if I can get that figured out tonight - it's working for me at home and at work.

It seems that not all DNS services are getting the updated address.

Oh joy, cached DNS ignoring TTL?

[SteveM]

It appears to be an issue of DNS propagation - not sure why it's taking so long.

So the tagboard came back for me sometime after the 5th, but it's been down again since at least the 19th, if perhaps not the 16th. not sure if anyone else is having troubles.

I've been having The same problem, for 5 days,

It seems to be having an issue with when my IP address changes that the Dynamic DNS does not propagate correctly.

Still working on figuring out how to work with this changed provider.

[pearldrums000]

Not sure of your config, but if this is applicable- instead of having a dynamic address pointing at the IP from your domain's DNS you could point it to an outside domain setting your record as a CNAME and then trusting another provider to propogate DNS like a competent provider.

not sure about actual domain names, but for example if you today were doing this:

Code: Select all

(dynamic) A tagboard.guttenprog.com -> [IP ADDRESS]

you could change it to this:

Code: Select all

CNAME tagboard.guttenprog.com -> StevesDDNS.duckdns.com

Code: Select all

(dynamic) A StevesDDNS.duckDNS.com -> [IP ADDRESS]

It's goofy because you're ending up using two DNS providers. But if it's a problem with DDNS propagation perhaps using a more established DDNS provider would help.

I've got the ddclient.conf configured correctly this time, and can see ip address updates. I wish Lumen would give out static IPs for their residential fiber service.

I'm using dynu which seems reputable, but I must have had some confusion on which IP address form to update.
