Handling SRV records
So im working on doing SRV records for my server so I can just have an IP, without a port at the end, and as far as I understand it's not too complicated at all, but I'm still pretty confused as it doesnt work, heres the current setup for it, any help is useful!

are you changing your dns records from your domain provider
im not sure if it changes from provider to provider but the way i do it is
oh yeah, this is on my domain provider end, im using squarespace domains for the time being
first you need to have a A record preferably you can make it smthn like srv.domainname.com
yep, thats the first blanked out thing
then for your SRV records make the name _minecraft._tcp.name
name will be the
subdomain for your server
so name.domainname.com
and have that targeted to your srv.domainname.com
never used squarespace so i cant provide ss but it should look smthn like this
from my cloudflare settings
so
_minecraft._tcp. and the name is the A record?
or what i want the portless one to be_minecraft._tcp. would be in the name
and on srv there should be an additional target tab
i dont have a target tab, just a data field, but i would assume this is close to what it would be
blahblah being the hostname/subdomain the A record uses
hm lemme see if theres a video of someone doing it on squarespaces panel
cuz im not sure
yeaah, every other guide ive seen assumes that ive got more fields to enter things into
but nothing that just has a raw text box
from the squarespace forum
your best bet would be
creating a cloudflare account and
adding the name server it provides to manage your dns on cloudflare instead of squarespace
you should have a nameserver tab in your squarespace panel right?
correctamundo
Connect, protect, and build everywhere | Cloudflare
Make employees, applications and networks faster and more secure everywhere, while reducing complexity and cost.
youll have to create a account
or if you have one
oh yeah, ill crack at it, i was planning on using them for some zerotrust stuff but
guess the account will come in use now
👍
im relatively sure that this is like, correct?
though it doesnt resolve at all
does cloudflare say that your domain is active yet?
yep
you have A record named stackcamping right?
yep, they all route back to the server
you dont have proxy enabled ?
everythings proxied
turn off the proxy for your A record
mc servers dont work thru proxy
ah
ye works now
oh huh swag
ill just have to flip around the like, actual places these point to cause i did it somewhat backwards but swag! thanks for helping out!
one note if you want to add
more servers to your domain
change the weight by 10
like first server 0 weight
2nd 10 3rd 20 n so on
:Mae_Nod:
makes sense
as long as they all actually resolve correctly, it wont just randomly fall back to the incorrect one anyways, right?
nop it wont
cool!
so, last thing just so i know im not an absolute idiot
eh even if you dont share your A records they are all public :silly:
fair enough
new to all of this, networking and DNS stuff so, glad for the help !
