Not binding on port 53 with IPv4 about generic-seeder HOT 3 CLOSED

Thought this was fixed but still not working. It is binding to the IPv4 address correctly but is listening on IPv6 only;

Don't worry about port 53 looking like its always binding to IPv6 because that is exactly what it does, regardless of whether you want to use an IPv4 or IPv6 address (an IPv4 address can be bound to an IPv6 socket).

I am finding that on newer ubuntu versions, it is necessary to bind the IP address as you have shown with -a 107.173.82.10, so you definitely need that part for the DNS server to work on ubuntu 20.04.

Your command is mostly OK although I notice you are using the server IP address instead of the "A" record, which leads me to believe that you may not have your DNS records properly set up. In the event my assumption is correct, you will need to make sure you follow the step-by-step guide more closely, starting from the Local DNS Server Setup section: https://github.com/team-exor/generic-seeder/blob/master/SETUP.md#local-dns-server-setup

Basically you want to create both an "A" record and an NS record, or else your seeder will not respond to DNS requests. I would recommend to create "A" record = vps.bitcreds.org in your case. Then update your command by changing -n 107.173.82.10 to match your "A" record, for example:

./dnsseed -a 107.173.82.10 -h dnsseed2.bitcreds.org -n vps.bitcreds.org -m [email protected]

Once you have your two DNS records set up correctly and you run the seeder with the modification to the nameserver part, your DNS server should start working immediately. If after those changes you are still not getting a response, it is probably due to cached DNS so try another nslookup dnsseed2.bitcreds.org from a separate remote computer or you can even try an online service such as https://www.whatsmydns.net
