Maybe one of you hogs knows what’s up.
I got a new IP address for my VPS and updated the DNS A record accordingly. That was two days ago and I still get an “unable to connect” error when trying to access TankieTube through protonVPN.
However, if I drop the VPN everything works. This is the case with both Firefox and Chrome.
Does this have to do with DNS propagation?
well you can rule out DNS issues by making sure it resolves properly using command line tools like dig. traceroute is hard to use on a lot of modern networks but a simple ping is still usable, or something like netcat or curl to rule out browser shenanigans
I have actually had some weird issues like this too, where I seemingly couldn’t reach hexbear from my former VPN provider at one point, but it eventually recovered, so maybe bad peering/blocking due to abuse going on from either the VPS provider or the VPN provider? But it was very annoying to troubleshoot and not that big of a deal so I don’t think I ever found a smoking gun
Is that why most of the hops come back as

the internet was not designed for NAT, and it was not designed for ICMP to be disabled lol
