Help accessing YGG domains.

Posted by Rambler in Ygg (edited )

So far I've only been able to access Yggdrasil network sites using their "local" IPV6 addresses, with no issue or error.

I'm still confused as to what I need to be doing to access the .ygg domains that some of these sites also are available on.

I understand that you need Wyrd ( https://github.com/Revertron/wyrd/ ) OR use the DNS servers that are supplied in that page.

I've tried both, with no luck. What am I doing wrong? I've even tried installing Yggdrasil on my Rasperry Pi (Pi-hole) DNS server and adding custom IPV6 nameservers using those supplied in the github page, but I can't resolve .ygg domains on any device or even on the pi-hole, still.

Anyone know? Honestly I just want to confirm that ramble.ygg actually resolves as it should, I see the domain has been crawled by the wyrd crawler and part of the packaged database now (and therefore, should be in other people's database if they're running their own DNS server with wyrd) but I can't access any .ygg, ping or otherwise.

No problems here, tried resolving both from my local Wyrd and from Revertron's servers. It's present in Autocommited domains.sql dump as well. But as far as your problem goes, I'm not sure what could've caused it.

I guess I'm wondering : Where exactly do I use his DNS servers at?

Is this something I add to my yggdrasil.conf, something I add to a local host file, etc. Couldn't quite figure it out as everything failed when attempted. I tried adding them in several areas locally with no success.

I am pleased to see that ramble.ygg resolves however, that's a relief.

Depends on your system. In case it's Linux, it should go to /etc/resolv.conf, but it usually gets overwritten by network manager of choice.

Rambler OP wrote

Yeah, that's what I thought.

resolv.conf is overwritten, I would assume by my network manager that I use to connect to my wireless network. When adding in 'additional DNS servers' under IPV6 settings, I choose one provided by wyrd (ex: 300:4523::53 ) and save it.

Disconnect / reconnect, no go.

I'll just add 300:4523::53 anywhere I can set anything DNS related until it works I guess, haha.

Works via terminal, nowhere else. It loaded a few times via Firefox for me but that's it. Clearing everything, private window this, new browser that... Nothing.

Via terminal though, it's fine. I'm done messing with it. If it works for you and others, that's the important thing. Otherwise, the IPV6 works fine for me. I just like accessing the site through various networks depending on what I'm doing. Seems lately it's been a pretty consistent mix of I2P, Loki and clearnet. But as soon as I type in http://[ firefox completes the IPv6 for me so it's not that big of a deal on my end.

Crazy thing is when I use dig, it responds. In the browser, nothing. No .ygg will load for me. Maybe I'm misinterpreting this.

your OS won't do AAAA lookups if you don't have any ipv6 default route.

Got it.

It works via Lynx, not sure what the deal is with the other browsers I've tried it with, but it is "working". The thing I wanted to do most was just confirm it was resolving for others, and it appears to be doing that just fine. The issues I'm experiencing seem isolated to me and only me and since I access the site mostly via I2P or Loki recently, I don't mind using the longform IPV6 if need be to access it over Yggdrasil.

I've got a ton of other stuff I'm working on and it seems that the .ygg is working, so that's good. I can access it via curl, dig, load it in lynx all fine now. Why I can't via a normal web browser even after clearing everything out, private browsing windows, etc is beyond me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't in the browser. But if it's working normally and reliably for everyone else I'm not going to fuss with it anymore, haha.
