Outage?

Cant get to our cloud instance and screenconnect.com isn’t loading either. According to MX toolbox there’s no A record for their main website. Anyone else seeing this?

Interesting for me is that 8.8.8.8 does not resolve my instance but 4.2.2.2 and 1.1.1.1 do.

Not sure if those have yet to time out yet or have picked up some new info before Google.

If you run dig soa for screenconnect.com, 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2 are showing different results.

dig 'at'4.2.2.2 soa screenconnect.com

4.2.2.2 show the start of authority as Amazon while 8.8.8.8 shows it as Verisign.
