@phenomlab Just had a look at all settings and advice given. I’m going to set up the redirect once I have the forum ready to accept members. I’d hate for anyone to be forwarded at this moment in time 😉 .

Just coming back here to post an update for this thread. Since setting a static IP address, the VPS I’m running has been ROCK solid with absolutely no downtime whatsoever.

@ash3t Great 🙂 Glad everything has worked out.

@ash3t I’m going to mark this as solved for the time being. Let me know if this isn’t the case, or if you need any further help.

@jac Typically you want your domain’s MX records to point to FQDN server name, e.g. foo.example.eg

% drill stockportcounty.fans mx ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 63911 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; stockportcounty.fans. IN MX ;; ANSWER SECTION: stockportcounty.fans. 600 IN MX 10 stockportcounty.fans.

Yours do not. Although a bit more drillin’ and reverse lookup indicates thusly;

% drill stockportcounty.fans ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 160 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; stockportcounty.fans. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: stockportcounty.fans. 600 IN A 65.108.63.35 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ;; Query time: 127 msec ;; SERVER: 204.8.232.207 ;; WHEN: Sun Oct 10 19:37:02 2021 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 54 <kvg@loon:~>% drill -x 65.108.63.35 ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 57802 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; 35.63.108.65.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: 35.63.108.65.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR vps.stockportcounty.fans.

I think you probably want your mx record to point to vps.stockportcountry.fans.

It is important for forward and reverse lookups for MX records jive. Maybe you are looking like a spammer in that they do not?

Edit: But at least you have a reverse record, many spammers do not, so that is a big red flag.

Thanks for the advice, will look into it all later once back home.

I can confirm the site is now verified and the sitemap has been submitted.

Thanks chaps @gotwf @phenomlab

Ever heard of KISS ? Nope - not these guys What I’m referring to is the acronym was reportedly coined by Kelly Johnson, lead engineer at the Lockheed Skunk Works (creators of the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird spy planes, among many others), which for...

@jac thinking about it, this is probably related to the feature in Nord VPN.

If your VPN connection drops out, our kill switch technology instantly shuts down any software you specify in advance.

@jac Yes, but don’t forget that Matomo (and most browsers) alike will allow you to “opt out” or not be tracked, so you can’t really rely on these 100%.

Absolutely, very true pal.

@phenomlab developing an own app is a big time-consuming job, above tool worked perfectly to run quick sample tests.

i have used temp mail to log in.
