Hi. Is there any update on the ETA for fixing the GL DDNS servers? NS1 an 2 have been down for nearly 5 hours and I'm getting dozens of calls from clients not able to connect to their VPNs. [https://glinet-status.admon.in.ua/](https://glinet-status.admon.in.ua/) @admon Thank you! ---

Guess it was a bigger issue since the forum was offline as well. Maybe @alzhao can give us some _post mortem report_ later. ---

@admon Thanks for the feedback, but it's still offline so no one running self-hosted is able to connect right now. I've barely slept trying to get people back online using temp static IP configs so people can work. An ETA would be sincerely appreciated. As part of post mortem, it would be good to understand if NS1 and 2 are actually co-hosted? Typically NS servers would always be on entirely separate infrastructure and data centers to prevent what's happening now. ---

Since I don't work for GL, I can't help. ETA is "if it works again, it works again" - at least from my side 😉 ---

@admon Ah.. gotcha. Figured since you hosted the status page that you were connected. Thanks for the response. I have been in contact with GL direct and they're hoping within "a couple hours". (fingers crossed) @alzhao - any updates would be appreciated. ---

> [@rthco](#): > > Ah.. gotcha. Figured since you hosted the status page that you were connected. I guess I need to make it more clear. Currently it shows _"This inofficial status page shows..."_ 😄 I might just remove the GL logo, hopefully people don't get confused then anymore. ---

Yeah, it was based on you hosting that, and that you're always so helpful & knowledgeable on here. Just made an assumption. Thank you though. ---

Thanks for the flowers 🌺 Let's hope the GLDDNS will come back soon - right now it flip-flaps... ---

Hi, I am having this problem too. I bought a flint 2 yesterday and thought it was my problem with the configuration. Are these DDNS problems common? Is there any way to configure an external DDNS like in openWRT? ---

DDNS was just fixed. Takes a little while so that everyone's ddns is updateed. ---

Thanks @alzhao ! I'm starting to see them come back online as well. Appreciate the work and the update! ---

If the **nslookup [my-id.glddns.com](http://my-id.glddns.com)** says that **"server can't find [my-id.glddns.com](http://my-id.glddns.com): NXDOMAIN"** does it mean that I should wait a bit longer to get everything updated or can it be another issue? (I set up my WireGuard server on a brand-new Flint 2 router yesterday and it worked smoothly that time, my backup client config with the public IP still works) ---

Have a check of your ddns using [https://dnschecker.org/](https://dnschecker.org/) to see if it is updated in other places. ---

@Banerjee @pfriezas @wrapozo @Benco - I'm finding with a lot of my clients that I've had to restart the DDNS client on the home/server router to get it to update again. Somehow it seems to be "stuck" and wouldn't start updating the DDNS server again until it got a kick. EDIT - After restarting on the home/server router, then give it 5 minutes and restart the VPN client on the travel router again. @alzhao FYI. ---

After the 3rd restart of gl\_ddns service on my home router, it worked for IPv4. IPv6 is not yet available, but by now I don't need IPv6 ddns. I as able to connect a client to my home router via wireguard using ddns. ---

Restarting the service worked like a charm! Thanks! [Next page](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/gl-ddns-outage-12-6/51439.md?page=2)
