Hi, my domain name resolves correctly everywhere https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/forms.degabrielle.name
but from the droplet itself it gets the wrong IP.(165.227.237.67)
I’ve set the A record for 188.166.148.63 on both the godaddy and the DigitalOcean dns config and the added NS records
NS forms ns2.digitalocean.com
NS forms ns3.digitalocean.com
NS forms.degabrielle.name ns1.digitalocean.com
FWIW I’m setting up a discourse droplet instance.

Hi @spdegabrielle,
Please note DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to fully propagate. I did check your domain and I can confirm it resolves from the proper droplet for me as well.
This leads me to believe your /etc/hosts file might not be correct. SSH to your droplet and type in
nano /etc/hosts
Inside of it what do you see? Do you see your droplet specified there?
