So something odd tonight.

Queen City uses the no-ip DDNS.NET domain for our forwarding and suddenly I get a message back when I try and log into my BBS that the host can't be resolved.
Can't see that anything here has changed. I'm into the BBS locally via my VNCviewer connection.

But queencitybbs.ddns.net:607 seems unreachable tonight and I'm not sure why.

Thought I'd pass along the anomaly.

Did you public IP address change??

So, for the fsx group as I'm also having this discussion on 20fb:

I did get back from news from no-ip and the IP address and port were reported ok from them, they were able to get into it.

I tried some experiments here. I used the IP vs using the domain and I was able to bring it right up from my SyncTERM on the office computer when I can't do the same using the no-ip DNS domain.
I tried accessing it using cellular network on the phone with ConnectBot app and that worked, I could get in. However, when in local Wi-Fi I can't resolve host again. When I switch to the actual IP address, again fine business internal to the WLAN.
So, there's something about the no-ip host/domain is seems my local network doesn't like. I'm not really sure why thing is happening or what changed. Could a firewall on the RPI hosting the BBS be the hangup if it's not my router?
Practical upshot I have a path to get in and it would seem external traffic can still get into the BBS so no disruption of service to the handful of individuals who stop by.
Still, I don't know what changed and I want to get back to where I was yesterday!

Thanks,

I've got no evidence that it has changed but I have no idea what else it might be.

I've changed nothing to perhaps the ISP has?

Do you know what you public IP is? If so just type in google whats my ip and it will show you, if you don't know what it is, then do the whats my ip anyway then login to your FQDN provider and make sure that the IP's match. It's something to look at..

Something just dawned on me... We might be trying to fix something that isn't broken.. In the Mystic settings check the blacklisted IP's and make sure yours is not blacklisted.. If it is, put it on the whitelist so it doesn't happen again...

Do you have a VPN? Early on, I kept getting the same error because my VPN had changed my IP (as it was supposed to) NO-IP thought my IP was my ISP
provided IP Needless to say they weren't the same so my terminal couldn't connect.

If you don't have a static IP from the ISP you will have to setup telling no-ip your new IP address...

You can find your public IP thru a terminal;
curl ifconfig.me

I thought of that too but it's typically error 111 when I've managed to blacklist myself. However that's my next stop.

Good idea too, but no, no VPN here obscuring things.

The part that got me was the no-ip tech gave me numbers for the IP address redirect that A) Were not what their website was showing me. and B) Were never in my record of IP assignments used here for anything. Once I gave them the IP address I had verified and coincidentally was also the IP set for redirect under my account with them, + the non standard port I run they came back with "oh we don't have any problems here."
