Marbled Fennec Networks

Over the past few months, our team has been seeing a fairly serious increase in scanner traffic and unwanted connection attempts ramping up over IPv6. In response, and to avoid our traffic accounting getting skewed for our members, we are reverting our default stance of having the v6 side of the network operating in pass through.

As of today, the default configuration will be everything from outside denied, unless our members raise a ticket asking for port ranges to be opened to certain addresses on their subnet. This is being done due to various parts of our network seeing upwards of 3GB+ per day in just noise from internet asbestos. ICMP will still pass through to everywhere as normal.

Our name servers and routers will be seeing reboots today as we handle updates.

Due to people not reading the related DNS entries before listing our servers on their websites or setting up their services to use our name servers, there have been some changes to our network setup. Make sure to re-read the details below and update any listings or software that you have attached to our name servers.

The main change is that ‘dns.marbledfennec.net’ now points to all of our name servers and the subdomain ‘dns2.marbledfennec.net’ no longer exist.

For a short period of time, ‘multi.dns.marbledfennec.net’ will continue to exist but it is set to be removed from the network by the end of January, 2025.
