Information about changes or proposals that affect the way our project operates.
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.
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.
Our team is in the process of transferring our domain to a new registrar due to issues with our current one. During this time, it is possible that our main domain will become unreachable. You should still be able to access this webpage at http://fenfox.run/ although it will be without HTTPS.
Once the transfer is complete, we will be working to restore normal access.

Project Lifetime --> MFN/FurrIX has been in some sort of operational status since its unofficial start around July 2009. The current and live version officially started around May of 2021 and continues to be operational through 2024. There have been some very close calls over the past year or two, but we are fighting to hang in there!
