Running nslookup whole-flexible.gl.joinmc.link but still not showing up address

  • minecraft server: running on ubuntu with amp.
  • playit.gg: installed with setup script, version 0.16.2.
  • dns: using google’s dns (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
  • tunnel status: playit reports tunnel is running and bound:
whole-flexible.gl.joinmc.link => 192.168.50.136:25565 (minecraft-java)

problem

  • when running:
nslookup whole-flexible.gl.joinmc.link

the result is only:

Server:  dns.google
Address: ......................::8888

Name:    whole-flexible.gl.joinmc.link

→ there’s no ip address listed under the Name, only the domain.

  • trying to connect in minecraft gives:
failed to connect: connection timed out: getsockopt

expectation

  • nslookup should resolve whole-flexible.gl.joinmc.link to a playit ip and port (e.g. 147.185.xxx.xxx:xxxxx).
  • right now, the domain never resolves to an ip.

question

  • is this a dns propagation delay, a tunnel configuration issue, or something wrong with playit itself?
  • why is nslookup not returning an ip even though playit says the tunnel is active?

My friend can join, i just can’t use the whole-flexible.gl.joinmc.link i gotta use the ip and port for direct connect
