Nameservers aren't responding
Nameservers aren't responding
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!

Re: Nameservers aren't responding
You have added A record for ns1 and ns2 to at server level, but did you registered those namesevers with registrar?
Re: Nameservers aren't responding
Thanks for your response!
Yes, they are also registered at the registrar.
