UCANN2.net the Face Lift

UCANN2’s control panel gets a face lift.

And it’s about time. Not that we didn’t like the old dnscloset system we original built many many years ago. It’s just time to get more up to speed with the way the look and feel of the internet has moved to. So NOT just a face lift, but a complete make over. We are adding new systems, new features, and many new enhancements. AND we are excited with the way things are looking now. BUT do not worry, your data will be moved over to the new system when the new system is production bound.

The new system will still have your username and password, and you will be able to get in with no issues, but just in case, we’ve create a ticketing system and a bug tracking system for all the things that can go wrong.

Please see below the list of enhanced being added and/or modified.

  • Organizational Users
    • Organizational Users allow you to create users inside your organization that edit your zone information. This is useful when you have multiple admins who can update the zone data.
  • Users Tokens
    • User Tokens allow all users to create a token so that the user can implement API integrations seamlessly.
  • Application Program Interface (API)
    • API much like the name says, we have more API endpoints for that seamless integrations
  • Help System – Search / WiKi
    • Help, for when just need some assistance in doing stuff
  • Ticket System
    • This allows you to create a ticket for when something isn’t working the way you want it to.
  • Bug Tracker
    • We can track YOUR bug for you, this allows you to track and keep up with whats going on with your bugs.

Now that’s a lot going on, so we’ve created a few channels in http://ucann2.slack.com so you can join in on the phone. Simple check us out here, to keep up to date with what’s going on with the system we use to modify the world around you.

Certificates and SSLs

Signed certificates are now being released. With the exclusion of the Inclusive Name Space, our signed certificates are not registered with any KNOWN signing authorities. With this known fact, we have created our own Certificate of Authority (CA) located at http://files.ucann2.net/pub/ssl%20certification%20files/CA%20Root%20crt/cacert.crt . By clicking this link, your browser should download and install the CA into your system as a CA, thus allowing our signed SSL’s to be valid on your computer. We use above standard encryption to be ahead of the industry. By not installing the CA you will receive a warning that the Author of the Certificate is unverified, although this is not a concern as we are 100% the ONLY Authorized CA as of this writing for Inclusive Name Space.

Once the above CA is installed, AND you are using the Public DNS Servers (https://www.ucann2.org/2017/03/08/public-dns-servers/) then you will be able to navigate to following, not limited to:

  • https://search.whois
  • http://dig.root

Public DNS Servers

Due to a unforeseen issue, one of the public DNS servers was lost. However with reliable in mind, we have brought a new server online. This server is now operating at 100% and will continue to operate as long as UCANN2 gets funding…and by this I mean, I continue to earn money at a day job.

The new server is located in the Netherlands, so now the entire structure is spread across the earth.

For anyone polling our public DNS servers, please find the updated information below.
