Hi,

 

I hope this fits in the general category.....

 

I'm trying to setup Swag but can't get past the initial setup. I find the following error when I check the log files.

 

I must add that I have DuckDNS working fine on my PC/Server/pfSense and I have OpenVPN also working flawlessly.

 

I can also successfully ping my DuckDNS address from the server console..... I think that tells me that I don't have a problem either with DNS or Port Forwarding....

 

Or is that too simplistic?

 

TIA

 

Paul

did you get this sorted?

 

One thing I have noticed previously with swag / docker / unraid / duckdns / cloudflare / pfsense ... etc

 

When making changes or getting things set up it takes time for dns changes to propogate throught the various interfaces etc.

I have countless times been looking for problems that simply dissapear when all the networkimng interfaces catch up with themselves.

 

 

Nowadays as somebody who tinkers if I am changing things to do with or that require dns and forwarding I tend to reboot my pfsense box and my pc before checking whether things are working.

 

I am sure there are commands that will release and renew leases and dns but i just find its simpler to reboot and then I know its not a cached dns problem.

Thanks for the reply,

 

No, unfortunately not yet.....

 

My system is in pieces at the moment. I've just acquired a rack to rehome/tidy the rats nest that my attic has become!

 

The reboot will be an opportune time to see if that works for me.
