ERROR: Could not resolve via dns about dness HOT 8 CLOSED

Fascinating, I don't believe that this is due to cloudflare. I believe the method used to get your WAN IP is failing. I'm assuming you get the same error when executing dness without a config (like shown)

dness-v0.2.1.exe

If you don't get an error, let me.

I believe that you will also receive an error if you execute the following:

nslookup myip.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220

or

nslookup myip.opendns.com. 208.67.222.222

(again, if no error, let me know).

This may be due to some computer / ISP setting that is blocking opendns or that domain and the potential fix would be to adding the ability to resolve the WAN address through other means than DNS.

It does appear to be failing trying to get my WAN IP.

dness-v0.2.1.exe

Ok thank you for your quick response. I wonder if your network will allow alternative ways to get your IP 🤔

Can you access: https://api.ipify.org ?

from dness.

Yes, that does work.

Perfect, I'll need to put in some work to allow one to switch providers.

from dness.

That'd be great. I've been using your app for quite a while and this is the first issue I've had. Thanks for the quick followup!

from dness.

Alright, I released 0.3.0. You should be up and working if you prepend the following to the dness.conf

ip_resolver = "ipify"

Let me know if you have any more issues

EDIT: You'll probably have to wait an hour or two before the executables are built! 👌

I encountered this issue but it was my firewall blocking port 53. Leaving a note for future users who find this issue while troubleshooting, ensure you have a 'pass' rule for port 53 to your Dness IP
