If your domain isn’t reachable on the internet (for example, your browser returns ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED), one of the following is usually the cause.

Nameservers are not configured correctly at your registrar

To activate Bunny DNS, your domain must be configured at your registrar with the nameservers shown in the DNS panel for your zone. If the registrar isn’t pointing at these nameservers, resolvers can’t route queries to Bunny DNS. Some registrars take up to 24 hours to apply nameserver changes. Monitor the nameserver records at your registrar after making changes.

Missing glue records for custom nameservers

If you’ve configured custom nameservers in the bunny.net control panel that point back to your own domain, you must configure glue records at your registrar. Without them, resolvers can’t find the DNS network responsible for the domain. The custom nameserver hostnames must also have A records that point to the same IPs as the glue records.

DNSSEC was not disabled before transferring from another DNS service

If you migrated from a DNS service that had DNSSEC enabled and didn’t disable it before the transfer, the chain of trust breaks and resolvers reject Bunny DNS responses. To fix this:
  1. Disable DNSSEC on your previous DNS service.
  2. Re-enable DNSSEC on Bunny DNS.
  3. Add the new DNSSEC records to your registrar if required.

An exception in your DNS script

If you’re using Scriptable DNS, an exception thrown by the script prevents Bunny DNS from returning records. Check your script for runtime errors.

Missing A, AAAA, or CNAME records

For a domain to be reachable, it needs the appropriate DNS records. To reach example.com, for instance, you need an A record pointing to an IPv4 address (such as 185.188.10.122), an AAAA record for IPv6, or a CNAME pointing to another resolvable hostname.

Typo in the domain name

When troubleshooting, double-check that the queried domain matches the DNS zone or record exactly. A single character difference will cause resolution to fail.

Debugging tools

Bunny’s DNS Lookup tool can perform global NS lookups to check propagation status and verify record responses from different regions.
