Question linux ipv4 ipv6 dns

  • I can't get a response from IPv4 `dig` on my server but I can get one from IPv6 `dig`.
  • See the below output:
  • ```
  • $ dig +short myip.opendns.com a @resolver1.opendns.com
  • # Doesn't return anything, this used to work!
  • $ dig +short -4 myip.opendns.com a @resolver1.opendns.com
  • ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
  • $ dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
  • "2600:1700:846b:c8d0:98e5:2279:72f4:xxxx"
  • $ dig -4 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
  • ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
  • $ dig -6 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
  • "2600:1700:846b:c8d0:98e5:2279:72f4:xxxx"
  • $ dig +short @8.8.8.8 google.com
  • ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
  • $ dig +short @2001:4860:4860::8888 google.com
  • 172.217.4.46
  • ```
  • What the heck is going on?
  • I did just switched ISPs, Comcast cable => AT&T fiber and from a cable modem + router to AT&T bundled modem & router. I've never used IPv6 before this and all the IPv4 stuff worked previously for my dynamic DNS scripts from the computer I'm running this on. I'm not sure where to start looking.
  • EDIT:
  • It looks like `resolv.conf` has the old default gateway (192.168.0.1) as the IPv4 DNS server.
  • ```
  • $ systemd-resolve --status
  • # ...

  • Using `dig @192.168.0.254 google.com` returns the correct value. I have no idea why it didn't change by itself. I'm just not sure how to fix it without rebooting.
  • Also here's the output of ip -4 route

dig -6 works but dig -4 does not
I can't get a response from IPv4 `dig` on my server but I can get one from IPv6 `dig`.

See the below output:

```
$ dig +short myip.opendns.com a @resolver1.opendns.com
# Doesn't return anything, this used to work!
$ dig +short -4 myip.opendns.com a @resolver1.opendns.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
"2600:1700:846b:c8d0:98e5:2279:72f4:xxxx"
$ dig -4 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ dig -6 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
"2600:1700:846b:c8d0:98e5:2279:72f4:xxxx"

$ dig +short @8.8.8.8 google.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ dig +short @2001:4860:4860::8888 google.com
172.217.4.46
```

What the heck is going on?

I did just switched ISPs, Comcast cable => AT&T fiber and from a cable modem + router to AT&T bundled modem & router. I've never used IPv6 before this and all the IPv4 stuff worked previously for my dynamic DNS scripts from the computer I'm running this on. I'm not sure where to start looking.
