Hestia not resolving user domains

Community Support DNS
1

I installed Hestia as usual but after installation I added users and domains but in my case user domains cant load successfully.

Is there anything after install to customize just to make DNS work properly?

Problem is that DNS is not responding from outside, port 53 is not blocked in firewall but what to do to make DNS work?

named.conf.options


options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";
         // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
        // to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
        // ports to talk.  See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
         // If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
        // nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
        // Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
        // the all-0's placeholder.
        //forwarders {
        //      8.8.8.8;
        //      8.8.4.4;
        // };


         //========================================================================

        // you will need to update your keys.  See https://www.isc.org/bind-keys

Check if bind/named is listening on port 53 (tcp and udp):

lsof -Pn +c0 -i:53

Also check the firewall rules:

iptables -S | grep ' 53 '

I forgot to say that you shouldn’t allow recursion to any client, that’s a security risk.

Hestia’s default value is allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; ::1; }; so you have modified it.

That looks fine.

Are you sure you are forwarding requests to tcp and udp port 53 to your server?

server cant resolve user domain - still not work

Share you domain or ip so I can check whether the ports are open.
