DNS records are not updated [.cf domain]

Hey! I have purchased a domain in the zone .cf, I linked Cloudflare DNS servers, and everything would be fine, but.. If I try to make a resolve through 8.8.8.8, I get the entry:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;<REDACTED>.cf.                        IN      A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
cf.                     5       IN      SOA     a.ns.cf. kohilaire.socatel.cf. 1724200084 10800 3600 604800 5

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;<REDACTED>.cf.                        IN      A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
cf.                     5       IN      SOA     a.ns.cf. kohilaire.socatel.cf. 1724200084 10800 3600 604800 5

But if I make a resolve through the DNS server that I specified (anuj.ns.cloudflare.com / chan.ns.cloudflare.com):

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;<REDACTED>.cf.                        IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
<REDACTED>.cf.         300     IN      A       198.244.143.151

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;<REDACTED>.cf.                        IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
<REDACTED>.cf.         300     IN      A       198.244.143.151

What is the reason for this and how to fix it? I will be glad of any help! :MeowHeartCloudflare:

Without knowing the domain I couldn't begin to tell you. It could be any number of things ranging from the domain being suspended, to the nameservers being set incorrectly, or others such as DNSSEC error

AxiOP•3mo ago

Can I DM you for it, please?

Erisa•3mo ago

you can DM the domain if you want but I'm not giving help in DM

AxiOP•3mo ago

Yeah, sure Done 👍

Erisa•3mo ago

Huh .cf is a very strange TLD, it doesn't seem to give any whois information and that domain doesn't respond to NS queries. Does everything look good on the domain registrar side (also, what registrar is it?)

AxiOP•3mo ago

Ahah yeah, so true.. Domain registrator is https://www.inwx.com/ but up to a certain point there was this - https://www.freenom.com/ The only working whois service that I have found is: https://whois.freenom.com/en/whois.html

Erisa•3mo ago

Oh yeah freenoms tool does indeed show the nameservers, but not any of the other icann states you'd get from whois

AxiOP•3mo ago

Their whois server (.cf) is down 💀

AxiOP•3mo ago

Erisa•3mo ago

yeah its not a very well-managed TLD lol All I can see from my side is that the registry's DNS service isn't returning the nameservers, which the only thing that tells you is that it's not a Cloudflare issue - I'd check with your registrar and ask them what's going on

AxiOP•3mo ago

Walshy•3mo ago

cf has no ownership anymore afaik

AxiOP•3mo ago

LMAO

Walshy•3mo ago

Freenom lost it and afaik it was never took it back up from the original owner

Erisa•3mo ago

shoutout to inwx for selling domains on a dead tld

AxiOP•3mo ago

sheesh..

Erisa•3mo ago

so yeah if you definitely did purchase it then i'd go ask inwx what theyre doing and maybe consider a different tld for now

AxiOP•3mo ago

thank you for confirming that the problem is on the INWX side, i will clarify with them what is the matter 👍
