I’m on at least 2 blocklists at this point for the crime of not having reverse DNS set up. I don’t know how rDNS works. No amount of reading Wikipedia is helping me understand what I have to do.

  • I have a domain at a registrar which gives me bog standard DNS.
  • I have Apache running on my network.
  • I have PiHole running on my network.

My understanding is that rDNS is not set up at my registrar, but somewhere in my network. What do I do?

Thank you for your time.

    At this point I’d install wireshark and see if I’m getting their TCP connections at all.

    Given your other routing issues though, I would guess you have another config issue on your firewall.

      Packet capture from the router for 4 pings from him to me. 2 of 8 packets expected were captured and have bad checksums. Disregard, all 8 expected packets do show up
