soylentnews.org experiencing DNSSEC issues

from the always-something-new dept.

We've discovered over the weekend that soylentnews.org was failing to resolve with some DNSSEC enabled resolvers. After debugging and manually checking our setup, the problem appears to be occurring due to an issue with the Linode DNS servers when accessed over IPv6. As such, some users may experience slow waiting times due to these DNS issues. I have filed a ticket with Linode about this, and will keep you guys up to date.

    If you're connecting to the site over Tor, it's over IPv4.
    At least for now, Tor is IPv4-only. (Though I don't know the reason for that.)

    Wireshark is probably your best bet to sniff traffic specifically to/from soylentnews.org to know for sure.

    Sites such as http://whatsmyip.net/ [whatsmyip.net] , https://whatsmyip.com/ [whatsmyip.com] , http://whatismyipaddress.com/ [whatismyipaddress.com] will tell the IP address you're connecting from. Using tor, I've seen some exit nodes on IPv6.

      I use https://ipinfo.io/, [ipinfo.io] which is fairly lightweight as a webpage, and is curlable from the commandline as a JSON output.

        That only shows my legacy IPv4 address and not my real one.
