Nameservers aren't responding
Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2017 1:11 pm
Hello,
Firstly, I wanna thank the creator(s) of Vesta CP for the nice control panel.
I've got a problem: according to multiple DNS websites, my nameservers aren't responding.
I installed Vesta CP in a virtual machine on Ubuntu 16.04 32-bits, because it's only meant for testing.
The virtual machine is attached to a physical network adapter, which is connected to my home NAT-network (I opened port 80, 443 and 53 (both TCP as UDP) on the router).
The servers' hostname is
I registered two free domains on Freenom (.tk-domains), and
The nameservers of are the default ones of Freenom and there are A-records for ns1 and ns2 (both pointing to my IP).
The nameservesr of mydomaintest.tk are and
I've added the web domain and in Vesta. The DNS-template of the first domain is set to child-ns and the nameservers of the package 'default' are set to and The SOA-field contains my first nameserver and A-records are set to my nameservers.
After running the VM for a couple of hours, it still isn't working. I can reach it if I set the server IP-address (the public address) as my primary DNS-server on a client, otherwise not. Websites like leafdns.com and mxtoolbox.com are reporting that the nameservers are configured for the domain, but that they aren't responding.
Can someone help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
