General Questions & Suggestions / I cannot make an slave working...

Last post by alvarohg - May 08, 2026, 05:56:21 PM

Hello, I am trying to setup an slave dns server and I fail every time.

I have a bind9 server as a master, there is my config:

named.conf:

Code Select Expand

acl "he" {
        216.218.133.2;
        2001:470:600::2;
};

options {
        directory "/var/bind";
        pid-file "/run/named/named.pid";

        /* https://www.isc.org/solutions/dlv >=bind-9.7.x only */
        //bindkeys-file "/etc/bind/bind.keys";

        listen-on-v6 { ::1; 2001:470:26:5df:1::1; };
        listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.18.203; };

        max-cache-size 104857600;

        allow-query {
                /*
                 * Accept queries from our "trusted" ACL.  We will
                 * allow anyone to query our master zones below.
                 * This prevents us from becoming a free DNS server
                 * to the masses.
                 */
                trusted;

        allow-query-cache {
                /* Use the cache for the "trusted" ACL. */
                trusted;
        };

        allow-recursion {
                /* Only trusted addresses are allowed to use recursion. */
                trusted;
        };

        allow-transfer {
                /* Zone tranfers are denied by default. */
                none;
        };

    allow-update {
                /* Don't allow updates, e.g. via nsupdate. */
                none;
        };

    /*
    * If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter its

        forward first;

        };


        //dnssec-validation yes;

        /*
         * As of bind 9.8.0:
         * "If the root key provided has expired,
         * named will log the expiration and validation will not work."
         */
        dnssec-validation auto;

        /* if you have problems and are behind a firewall: */
        //query-source address * port 53;
};


logging {
        channel default_log {
                file "/var/log/named/named.log" versions 5 size 50M;
                print-time yes;
                print-severity yes;
                print-category yes;
        };

        category default { default_log; };
        category general { default_log; };
};


include "/etc/bind/rndc.key";
controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1/32; ::1/128; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

zone "." in {
    type hint;
        file "/var/bind/named.cache";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
        type master;
        file "pri/localhost.zone";
        notify no;
};

zone "alvaro.hernandez-garcia.me" {
        type master;
        file "ahg.db";
        allow-transfer { he; };
        allow-update { localhost; };
        notify explicit;
        also-notify { 216.218.130.2; };
        forwarders { };

};


Also my zone file:

Questions & Answers / Maximum /48 alocation

Last post by leandroneves - May 04, 2026, 09:43:47 AM

Dear HE.NET team,

I needed to reorganize my network and establish connections to tunnels with lower latency. For Missouri, I connected to Chicago and everything went well. In São Paulo/Brazil, I did the same procedure. The tunnel with the lowest latency is New York.

However, when I tried to create the new /48 block between São Paulo and New York, the platform sent me the message: "Error: Maximum /48s requested. Please try again later."

Does this refer to my maximum number of tunnels (I only have one) or the maximum available from HE.NET in New York?

If it's the former, I would kindly request that you correct my profile so that I can allocate the tunnel.

By the way: I understand that you work with high volume, but as a user, allocating more /56 tunnels might be more valuable than a few /48 tunnels.

I want to thank you for the years of service together. Thank you!

Best Regards,

Leandro Neves

IPv6 on Windows / Re: unreachable from outside

Last post by cnsh - April 30, 2026, 04:09:42 AM

I checked everything. From firewall inbound/outbound rules and general firewall settings to registry keys (Ifiso settings and etc). EVERYTHING. Firewall logging won't work (even after restart), and I have no clue how to fix this damn issue.

Thinking that it might be Windows side issue. Will submit a bug report today, even though noone will look into it, I'm enough fed up with this thing.

General Questions & Suggestions / Re: Zone limits was changed?

I had the same issue, a re-login did not resolve the problem but clearing the dns.he.net cookies and then logging in again did sort it out.

IPv6 on Windows / Re: unreachable from outside

Last post by cnsh - April 20, 2026, 09:48:09 PM

according to this thread on reddit, I deleted IfIso key from

Code Select Expand

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\RestrictedInterfaces\, and it works on private profile too. Problem solved? No.

Another issue from deleting that comes at some windows features ending up bricked completely. Advanced windows firewall, media streaming settings, and various other stuffs won't start and gets bricked. Is there a way that it won't brick any of the windows services while getting that IfIso removed?

I run a DLNA server from my local, so I need this NIC to be in a private profile.
Someone please explain why this works and how I can make it also work in private profile

Hi,

I just finished Sage Level in the certification. What Do I need to do to be able to unblock SMTP? I currently do not see an a 'unblock' button under tunnel details -> advanced.
