Hi,

Please check domainconnect record on the domain.

dig TXT _domainconnect.<domain>.com

If missing it needs to be added by your DNS provider.

Hi @pawel-kow

apologies for jumping in this thread, I have a couple of 1und1.de / ionos domains and am currently using a CNAME to a dynamic DNS provider (noip) , ideally I would like to take that out of the loop and just connect the 1und1 domain directly to my variable IP server.

I am getting the following error

after adding TXT record to 1und1

dns.resolver.NXDOMAIN: None of DNS query names exist: _domainconnect.MyDomainName.MyTLD., _domainconnect.MyDomainName.MyTLD.

could you tell me what records I need to have on 1und1.de to make this work, I am presuming currently that
I need
A = aaa.bbb.ccc
AAAA = xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
TXT with domainconnect but how
???

Any help is much appreciate I find that https://www.ionos.co.uk/help/domains/configuring-your-ip-address/connecting-a-domain-to-a-network-with-a-changing-ip-using-dynamic-dns-linux/ is missing the required records on the 1und1 side.

thanks and apologies for the long query

Sure, please add CNAME record for host _domainconnect pointing at _domainconnect.1and1.com.
It can be done also in IONOS control panel via DNS domain reset facility (no worries, UI allows to reset only _domainconnect record and leave others intact).
