Hi,
I've been running the F-Secure Linux Security
for quite a long time and since February 7th 2025 I started receiving DNS lookup failures for the database update server fsbwserver.f-secure.com
. As shown below, I can successfuly resolve f-secure.com
:
$ dig +short f-secure.com 23.4.67.115 $ dig fsbwserver.f-secure.com ; <<>> DiG 9.18.30-0ubuntu0.22.04.2-Ubuntu <<>> fsbwserver.f-secure.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 54693 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 65494 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;fsbwserver.f-secure.com.
