Name Server Changes

As mentioned in this post a while back, our team has removed the NS entries for ‘multi.dns.marbledfennec.net’ from our name servers. We allowed a grace period for system and network admins to make the switch over to ‘dns.marbledfennec.net’ for a handful of months.

As of Jan 20th, devices and networks that are being setup to use our name servers should be pointing at ‘dns.marbledfennec.net’ as this entry is permanent and will not be changed.

Cleaned up networking and NS stuffs

We have processed disconnects for project members who have not be active for more than forty-five days. This means the related WireGuard profiles and PTR entries have been removed and those subnets have been returned to the pool.

Trying something new with NS1

We are running NS1 from an Alpine instance right now to see how it fairs compared to our usual setup for running our name servers. If this works out nicely, might become our method for these one off services since the resource usage is far less.

If y’all notice any issues, reach out to our support team and let us know.

NS Drop List Updated

Our name servers have had their drop list updated. Should start to see less load on either server and more normal traffic being handled. Keep in mind that MFN relies on seeing and reacting to traffic patterns and domains are only added to the drop list if they are associated with malware or other unwanted issues.

Added 13 new domains to the list and sync’d between servers.
