RE: @Nominet@mastodon.social

It's been a pleasure working with the @Nominet@mastodon.social team this year. The DNS Fund provides critical support to organizations whose mission is to improve and maintain the global DNS infrastructure...the quiet (but important) work behind the scenes.

RE: @quad9dns@mastodon.social

While not our preferred path, we are temporarily implementing Negative Trust Anchors for the shortest time required while #DENIC resolves the situation on their end.

You can read more about our NTA policy here: https://quad9.net/service/negative-trust-anchors/

RE: @quad9dns@mastodon.social

UPDATE!

The nameserver infrastructure used by the quad9.net zone was experiencing intermittent failures. We immediately worked with our relevant technology partner to mitigate the issue.

This outage affected Quad9's website and services that use the quad9.net domain name. Services that are hosted on our anycast IP addresses, like 9.9.9.9 and 9.9.9.10, were not affected.

We appreciate your patience while we addressed the underlying issue. 🫶
