packagecontrol.io DNS issue #149

Open subject721 opened 2 years ago

subject721 commented 2 years ago

When trying to access https://packagecontrol.io I ran into occasional timeouts. After some digging around (pun intended) I noticed that e.g. the google DNS (8.8.8.8) returns two different IPv4 addresses for packagecontrol.io. One points to the website I'm expecting the other one results in timeouts on port 443 and a HTTP "forbidden" on port 80.

I noticed that after restarting our primary DNS server and flushing its caches.

If that is a regional thing: I was doing the DNS queries from Germany

The working DNS entry:

; <<>> DiG 9.16.21 <<>> @8.8.8.8 packagecontrol.io
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 10320

The DNS entry that leads to some (probably unintended server):

; <<>> DiG 9.16.21 <<>> @8.8.8.8 packagecontrol.io

I can't access website at all. Neither on phone using cellular data, nor from my home network (UPC).

Afer turning on VPN USA location website is accessible without issues.

I'm connecting from Switzerland.
