The Move

So the server has landed at my house.
All DNS records have been updated and sites should be working immediately.
(If I manage your DNS that is.)

If you manage your DNS records you need to point it to 24.172.198.146 ASAP.

More to come as I’m still working on stuff..

PS. Please note this can take up to 48 hours for the rest of the internet to
catch up with the DNS changes. If you’re using OpenDNS right now everything
should work for you.

Network Issue (He.net) Resolved

Hurricane Electric is back up and working and so is our DNS.

Our primary DNS provider for inexistence.org (Hurricane Electric) is having kittens,


DNS.he.net is experiencing an issue at the moment. For those that are missing zones, we are in the process of recovering them at this time.


This also includes tunnelbroker.net which is how our IPv6 works so yeah epic fail on their end.


As of right now all *.inexistence.org services will probably not work for you.
If you know how to edit your hosts file you can temporarily fix it by referring directly
to our IP: 216.196.207.102.


216.196.207.102 inexistence.org
216.196.207.102 mail.inexistence.org
216.196.207.102 www.inexistence.org
216.196.207.102 cubemail.inexistence.org


If their servers continue to be down for too much longer I might change DNS servers.
I am willing to give them a chance to fix it as their services rocks with it’s working…
All other hostnames will continue to work (we use cloudflare for everything else).

IPv6 Certification

I’m currently doing all the he.net (Hurricane Electric) IPv6 certification tests.
I had to change inexistence’s main dns stuff around for a test on the site.

All other domains are still going through cloudflare
so you shouldn’t see any outages with your domains.

Though inexistence.org might go down for a few till I complete the testing.
This will affect mail and other services possibly.

If this occurs you should be able to access all services by substituting your own
domain in place of inexistence.org aka mail.inexistence.org becomes mail.mydomain.com.

You will see ssl cert warnings if you do this.
Believe me if downtime occurs I’ll be fixing it quickly.

No downtime yipee! Apparently I still have my DNS skills.

Thanks for the understanding!

Cloudflare

Well I add recently converted most of the sites on inexistence to now use cloudflare.
It’s a rather interesting service which has replaced my primary DNS service I used to use everydns.

To break it down for everyone this means better speed as they cache site files for quicker loading.
They also prevent known spambots from even connecting to hosted sites.

For any admin out there I heartily recommend their service as it’s really cost effective to boot.
(We are currently using their free account and it provides so much stuff!)

If you’re using self hosting with WordPress they even provide a plugin for analytics tracking stuff
along with a database optimization feature.
(Though I do automatic database optimization every four hours or so on Inexistence)

Anyways I hope everyone enjoys their just a little bit faster hosting and once again enjoy!

IPv6 on DD-WRT

So I got a new wireless router (Linksys e3000) for my birthday (March 8th) thanks to my friend
and business partner. I spent all of yesterday playing with it (DD-WRT)
enabling IPv6 support, swap space, etc…

I got a result that I never expected to see:

I may post a walkthrough on how to accomplish this in the future.
