Notion is experiencing a DNS issue

You can check their DNS propagation here [1] [1] - https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/notion.so https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/notion.so
ibraheemdev 6y ago
The status page is down as well: https://status.notion.so/ https://status.notion.so/
- kjaer 6y ago
  And that's why you should always use a different domain for your status pages! GitHub does it well, for instance: https://www.githubstatus.com/ https://www.githubstatus.com/
  - ThePadawan 6y ago
    I smell an ironic business opportunity in the ".status " TLD...
    - yawnxyz 6y ago
      that's really clever... too bad I can't afford a TLD
  - colinbartlett 6y ago
    I wrote a blog post about this once[1] because I was totally shocked how few people actually use a separate domain for their status page. It's like < 0.5% and I'll never understand why. 1. https://statusgator.com/blog/2020/04/21/your-status-page-deserves-its-own-domain/ https://statusgator.com/blog/2020/04/21/your-status-page-des...

      >>But you can’t use two completely different DNS providers for your status page and your primary page unless you are using a distinct domain. You can.

        > >>But you can’t use two completely different DNS providers for your status page and your primary page unless you are using a distinct domain. > You can. Depends on who's who though. Yes, it can be separate if they were different non-apex (AKA like www.google.com and mail.google.com) domains and apex domains (like google.com) can use at least two (depending on your registry) different DNS servers. However, by design there is an implication that your apex DNS servers are synchronised (or reasonably so). So for example, one of your provider have malfunctioned and instead of just pulling it offline it answered your requests with an IP address you don't control (let's say 198.51.100.17, which is not a routable address) with a exceedingly long TTL (say a week). If a client-side DNS resolver followed it through the heart, it will not allow anything to reach the intended server, even the functions server for non-apex domains. Plus, registry issues (there is only one registry in the end) and if they messed up, the website is going down (unless they are prudent) etc.
bscanlan 6y ago
It looks like some sort of dispute or contractual issue between Notion and and the .so registry, or a complete messup by the registry. From a whois of notion.so: Updated Date: 2021-02-12T12:54:35.982Z Creation Date: 2015-03-31T00:00:00.0Z Registry Expiry Date: 2021-03-31T00:00:00.0Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2021-03-31T00:00:00.0Z Domain Status: clientHold https://icann.org/epp#clientHold https://icann.org/epp#clientHold
- yawnxyz 6y ago
  I don't understand why they're using the Somalian TLD when they also own .com How reliable are these other TLDs like emerging country TLDs like .ly (Libya), .co (Colombia) or .so (Somalia)? Could you just get shut down overnight?
  - cs-szazz 6y ago
    If I understand correctly, the .so TLD is effectively a national resource of Somalia, and as such they have total control over it and could in fact shut it down if they wanted.
  - bombcar 6y ago
    Any domain is entirely at the mercy of the registrar, and for country domains that's entirely in the country itself. It's amusing to me that some of the most "desirable" country domains are also coincidentally some of the most unstable countries.
    - tephra 6y ago
      This is not entirely true. For example the .se domain is not controlled by the Swedish government but is administered by The Swedish Internet Foundation which is a private foundation (source I work there..). It is (now) regulated somewhat by law.
      - bombcar 6y ago
        Perhaps, but a private foundation in Sweden is subject to the laws thereof - if Sweden wanted to regain complete control there's not much your foundation could do.
NalNezumi 6y ago
I haven't been using Notion for too long but have migrated a lot of stuff there. Does this kind of downtime happen often? Seems like offline mode is not high up on their agenda, so maybe I can ask here if there's other applications with similar feature, but offline? Saving bookmark/homepages, a kanban-style todo-list, general note taking (with math eq + image embed) and possibilities to sync between devices? (Personal use only)
- Bedon292 6y ago
  They say the issue is with syncing multiple offline edits. But for solo its overkill. I love all the options is has, and its been good for me for the most part, but I just want a solo mode for myself. If you aren't using the DB features, maybe https://www.getoutline.com/ https://www.getoutline.com/ works?
  - NalNezumi 6y ago
    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look through it! I actually do use the DB feature. Mostly for well, Todo task (kanban style) and as a remedy to the "Exploding tab" phenomenon (saving pages with #tags to later check rather than have it visible as 100s of tabs). It's just very nice to have everything at one place. Being able to link/backlink between task, homepages, notes and lists have been really useful to lower my anxiety of forgetting/losing some information/thoughts I write down, later.

I can't seem to grasp this, Notion also has notion.com registered, and it resolves perfectly, but is 302 redirecting to notion.so Why? Was no one from Notion around during the 2010 takedowns of .ly domains?
- bombcar 6y ago
  Cutesy domain names using country TLDs really need to stop - if anything "notion.so" should redirect to dot com.
  - yuvadam 6y ago
    Exactly, and notion.so doesn't even have unique meaning going for it.
  - macinjosh 6y ago
    Am I the only one who doesn't get the cute joke behind notion using a .so TLD?
- detaro 6y ago
  Apparently not. Registries is something most people don't think about until its too late.
- burkaman 6y ago
  Apparently that was just the best available notion domain when they first launched, and I guess they never got around to transitioning once they acquired notion.com: https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/f6x9mk/why_the_so_domain/fi8l82f/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/f6x9mk/why_the_so_d...

    "API access coming soon!" - 3+ years ago "Offline mode is in the works" - 2+ years ago I don't trust anything that Notion promises. Changing to .com is probably the simplest of those three, too. I have no idea what their backend looks like but I know I could make that change in 10 minutes on mine.
Bedon292 6y ago
Looks like its running at 104.18.11.147 if you want to update your hosts file directly as a workaround. But, definitely slower than normal. My templates may not be working right either. But some access to existing data at least. Edit: Had to set that for www.notion.so and msgstore.www.notion.so to work I think.

  I wouldn't be surprised if their internal infrastructure uses the domain to talk between its services and is now blowing up all over the place too.
  - edoceo 6y ago
    Use two networks! Internal NS for example.lan and public NS for example.com
    - justusthane 6y ago
      You don’t need to use two separate domain names for that. Best practice is to use the external domain internally, and use your internal DNS server to point the records to internal IP addresses. That way you can still get public certs issued to internal services.

bkhakshoor 6y ago
As a temporary workaround, you can modify your /etc/hosts file to access Notion. On Mac/Linux: 1. sudo nano /etc/hosts 2. Add these 2 lines: 104.18.23.110 notion.so 104.18.23.110 www.notion.so Don't forget to take these out once the issue is resolved.
crucio 6y ago
I've got it to (partially) work by editing /etc/hosts to include 104.26.4.98 www.notion.so notion.so msgstore.www.notion.so It seems that hitting https://www.notion.so/login https://www.notion.so/login forwards me correctly to view some of our data, but not much else works

As a temporary workaround, you can modify your /etc/hosts file to access Notion. On Mac/Linux: 1. sudo nano /etc/hosts 2. Add these 2 lines: 104.18.23.110 notion.so 104.18.23.110 www.notion.so Don't forget to take these out once the issue is resolved.

I've got it to (partially) work by editing /etc/hosts to include 104.26.4.98 www.notion.so notion.so msgstore.www.notion.so It seems that hitting https://www.notion.so/login https://www.notion.so/login forwards me correctly to view some of our data, but not much else works

Apparently they just let their domain expire https://twitter.com/kieranmch/status/1360246567463235585 https://twitter.com/kieranmch/status/1360246567463235585

They're saying that's not it: https://twitter.com/cjc/status/1360253693073870848?s=20 https://twitter.com/cjc/status/1360253693073870848?s=20 "Hi there! Flagging that this is not an issue with a lapsed renewal. There is a complaint against Notion that we are resolving directly with the registrar. We’re coming back up now."

  This is almost comical in a way, 2 billion USD company chooses to establish in Somalia as its virtual storefront. Not surprised it went wrong.

Don't think this is right, you can see from a whois pulled earlier that the expiry date was March 31st: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26113614 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26113614
