I recently got a domain name with the .cl registrar (listen my domain name is a nice word now), which I wanted to do through a big provider but they wouldn’t touch nic.cl. It was much cheaper directly from nic.cl and the registrar was happy to serve me, but now I’m investigating DNSSEC and having … Read More “DNSSEC with a small registrar” »

Hey, all! I have a domain that I own and use with a hosting provider. Let’s call it MStephans.com. I don’t want to change anything about the domain. Wildcarding, mail, web, etc should all remain the way they are, as it’s my business domain and Gmail address. However, I have a server at my house … Read More “Dynamic DNS with just a subdomain?

I’m currently using Route53 with latency-based records to point users to the server nearest (fastest) to them. But the main problem I have is that I don’t actually use AWS for my webservers. This means that it’s not optimal because the locations don’t match exactly with the data-centers of AWS. Also I’m planning to add … Read More “Route53 alternatives for similar price?” »

This is the result of the benchmark: https://prnt.sc/scki4t I was thinking about changing my DNS to Cloudflare but it looks like my ISP’s DNS is not bad at all. Looking at the Status tab I see that Cloudflare is the only one that responded with “DNS queries are not being consistently answered” https://prnt.sc/sckjix.

So running $ scutil –dns | grep ‘nameserver[[0-9]*]’ nameserver[0] : 8.8.8.8 nameserver[0] : 8.8.8.8 I should only be connected to google’s DNS but for some reason I automatically connect to openDNS. Some websites are blocked by block.opendns.com. I already tried it with several routers so can it be possible that something in the Mac connects … Read More “Computer automatically connecting to openDNS?” »

What are the downsides of setting the primary and secondary DNS of your OS or router to different providers? E.g. set cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 as primary and google’s 8.8.8.8 as secondary. Cloudflare’s DNS servers are faster than google’s at my location. But last month they were down for 2-3 times, 10 – 30 min each, while … Read More “Set primary DNS to cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and secondary DNS to google 8.8.8.8. Good? Bad?” »
