The service that ns1.tornevall.net relies in runs an older version of OpenVZ which will reach an end of support 2023-12-31. Therefore, we will prepare to transfer this service elsewhere, probably already during this summer. If your DNS services depends on this, make sure you’re no longer using it.

The work has recently also started to migrate to a new master DNS. This work was finished today, which means that the API (v3) as of today communicates with a DNS that has closer reachability.

It has been a while since we touched api’s but this weeken we took a small step forward to replace an old API package. Instead of staying in a sphere of self maintained system, we’re about to try to run entirely over a Lumen instance. One of many reasons is the needs for, for example, a very long time planned data-to-rss-transformation system. This also means that we probably will deprecated the basic authentication system in a near future and start using JWT instead. For the DNS business, this may be a huge advantage in how data entries are handled in the editor.

To be continued…

As our hosting conditions is about to radically change, the decision has been made to push away some of our DNS services. The services moved to Linode can not be used as recursive services. We’ve also completely removed the “microweb”-services, since they are practically empty and no longer necessary.

This is what’s happened during this weekend:

NS3.TORNEVALL.NET

• Relocated to Linode DNS.
• Removed service in JP

Removed

139.162.124.220
2400:8902::f03c:91ff:fe87:3989

Linode replacement

NS4.TORNEVALL.NET

• Removed service in NL

Linode replacement

Tornevall Networks has plans to deprecate v3.x of the current TorneAPI-package. One of many reasons is that many functions are still bound to the netcurl 6.0-series – one other reason is an upcoming RSS-interface. There are also efficiency issues within the API that has been a problem. Not publicly but for internal perfomance. The first plan was to go APIv4, but instead there could be a major change – a reboot. Version 3 will remain in place, to handle DNS requests until there’s a new stable.

With this deprecation change, the DNSBL will got itself a major issue: Removals are now forced. This also means that a full removal procedure will be sent to the DNS even if the requested IP address is not confirmed listed.

Tornevall Networks are closing most of the comment functions at TorneAUTH and this page, as the comment fields mostly are used as spam. Usually the comment fields has been acting honeypots for stupid bots, but it generates more problems than it helps. Amongst 2000+ spam comments, there’s a few that is requesting delists. It is, and has never been recommended, to use comments as a helpdesk. So instead, if you’re here for delisting – go directly to https://www.tornevall.net/removal/ or send a proper mail to via the contact forms instead.

Thanks.

Update October 2021:

We STILL don’t actively read comments regarding delisting!
