Is duck DNS really down or is it just for me? Downdetector shows its up. I can’t access from firefox, can’t ping it or curl it.

My vailtwarden server uses duck DNS to issue a certificate and use https but recently I’ve been having trouble using since duckdns is almost always down.

Edit: turns out my pihole was blocking it. I have no idea why but some of my adlists added duckdns in the blocklist.

    There are other services which should work for you as well. I use one which never requires a regular check in. They even ofter a command line curl or other methods to send your updated IP to it. Think Home Assistant, via a curl or if you have a router with Freshtomator or other which supports such curl, it will work as well.

    I’ve been using them for a few years now and never ever had an issue with uptime or otherwise. My use is just as a backup in the event my VPS goes down which hosts Pangolin (VPS).

    Others such as noip.com and such do work well also.
