🐾 Putting the bark behind your bytes! 🐾
Around 0030EST last night, we received emails stating that the domain “marbledfennec.net” was transferred over to Porkbun after a much stressful waiting period in which our domain was not working correctly and was even offline to various parts of the web.
As of 1245EST, we have our name servers fixed including DNSSEC. Everything should be working properly now and we should be back online.
We partly fell off the internet for a few days because our DNSSEC settings aren’t right. At the moment, our current registrar (SquareSpace) is having control panel issues that are preventing our team from removing or updating our current DS record. For the time being, this will cause DNSSEC issues and may break portions of DNS for our domains.
We are also still waiting on SquareSpace to release our domain to PorkBun.
Aside from the above, we are still operational.
Around 1430EST today, our team started noticing that some of the DNS request that were coming in were for odd looking domains within the zones that the OpenNIC project controls. In an effort to not aid botnets, malware and other unwanted internet asbestos- We make use of iptables to block request from even reaching our DNS servers if our team’s research comes up as questionable or worrisome.
We will not post the domains that are blocked on our websites to avoid getting tagged with those questionable domains. But, if you are using our DNS servers, are a project member or a network tenant; you are welcome to reach out to our support desk to obtain a list of the currently blocked domains.
Something to note:
Our team does not block weird looking domains just because they seem odd. We only enact a block when we are able to verify that the domain in question is associated with malware or otherwise unsafe. Verification is done by checking the domains and associated IP addresses against multiple malware tracking labs and groups.
