Still playing with DNS

While this should not affect routing at all, various services of ours might go offline and return later. We are still playing around with DNS and have made the move into serving our domain using “dns.marbledfennec.net” as the primary and DeSec.io as our secondary name servers. As we learn more about the services we rely on and how to host them ourselves, we will be working on moving them in house.

Update at 2pm:
At this time, our domain is using only our name servers to check and see if DNSSEC is working correctly on our end. Once verified, there will be another update.

Update at 10am:
Eventually this configuration will be duplicated on “dns2.marbledfennec.net” and then kept in sync with any zone changes automagically. For those who are curious, “dns.marbledfennec.net” and “dns2.marbledfennec.net” are really the servers “dns.fenfox.run” and “dns2.fenfox.run”.

The thing to remember about our project is that it is and always will be a grounds to learn on. Meaning a lot of our hosted machines and configurations are moving targets as our team learns from doing and managing.

Twin DNS Resolvers

Since we had some resources to spare, we have setup a second public DNS
resolver that anyone may use if they wish. Both of our resolvers are compatible
with ICANN and OpenNIC domains.

Early Time Locking…

We have decided that the transition to the new website has gone much
better than we expected and as a result, we have locked the old version
of our website in time. https://old.marbledfennec.net/ will no longer be
receiving crosspost updates and all policies found on the old website
are to be considered invalid and outdated.

If you are a project member or guest and you have not switched to using
the new website for all of your project information needs, today is the day
to make that switch. We know this is way ahead of schedule, but felt that
the state of everything was well enough to throw the switch early.

Due to an internal VT agreement, https://old.marbledfennec.net/ will remain
online and accessible up until December 10th, 2024 to allow for new comers
a chance to see where the project came from.
