  • If you mean to do that in the public DNS records please note that public records that point at private IPs are often filtered by ISP’s DNS servers because they can be used in web attacks.

    If you don’t use your ISP’s DNS as upstream, and the servers you use don’t do this filtering, and you don’t care about the attacks, carry on. But if you use multiple devices or have multiple users (with multiple devices each) eventually that domain will be blocked for some of them.




  • Contact support and tell them how many you need and they’ll try to accommodate you. There were a lot of people abusing the service and hosting hundreds of domains so now they’re making everybody request them explicitly unfortunately. They’ve also had to suspend their .dedyn.io DDNS service indefinitely because of the abuse.

    That’s why we can’t have nice things.

    Please read up on DNSSEC because you will be required to turn it on for every domain you host with them.



  • That’s how Amazon works.

    If you think all the stores in the internet now are PWA’s you are sadly mistaken. MVC web apps are pretty well suited for things like shops and they never went away. There are entire languages and frameworks like PHP, Python, Java that actively support that style of app. It also lends itself really well to caching.

    I wouldn’t say it’s completely JavaScript free though. Client side JS is still extremely useful and attempting to make a store with zero JS might be a bit tough.




  • It’s not the only free DNS service.

    It’s only a good registrar if you don’t care about privacy and you’re ok with their selection of TLDs (selected only from registries without privacy).

    The free accounts do not benefit from DDoS protection. Re-read their terms of service, they’re vague on purpose. If you were ever DDoS’ed (I don’t know who would bother btw but that’s another discussion) they’d just drop you.

    You can establish the tunneling thing on your own with any VPS.

    The problem with cloudflare is that we’re missing three other cloudflares to move to if they decide to pull evil shit.

    You can and should diversify your services and spread them to different providers that are easy to switch. I’ve been with “all in one” providers before, they inevitably end up leveraging their convenience into all sorts of crap. But until you get burned a couple of times they look really good.

    polito.it may not be the best example because its A records point at private IPs (192.168.x.x). Such records are often filtered by ISP DNS servers because they are used in certain kinds of attacks.

    Double check your results using DNSChecker.

    Edit: also, using just dig will not resolve all possible records related to a domain. I use a script that asks dig explicitly for a variety of record types:

    #!/bin/bash
    echo "SOA NS A AAAA MX CNAME TXT SRV DNSKEY"|\
    xargs -n1 dig +noall +answer +nocrypto "$@"|\
    sort -u -k4

    What do the Unbound logs say?

    What upstream servers are you using?

    not depend on Google/Adblock/Whatever upstream DNS server

    I mean, you’re gonna have to get your DNS information somewhere. You can choose and pick your upstream but you still need one. You can cache the DNS info but you will still need to refresh it eventually. You can use a DoT or DoH upstream server so your ISP cannot spy on your DNS traffic but, again, you still need an upstream.





  • If you literally mean one time then rsync is fine-ish… if you combine it with a checksum tool so you can verify it copied everything properly.

    If you need to backup regularly then you need something that can do deduplication, error checking, compression, probably encryption too. Rsync won’t cut it, unless you mean to cover each of those points using a different tool. But there are tools like borg that can do all of them.
