Domain name @ record not propagating?

Hi, I am trying to add a domain to point to my droplet. The domain was registered with an external registrar and I made sure to change my DNS records. I then added two A records on Digital Ocean:

@ *

These appear as “mydomain.dev” and “*.mydomain.dev” in the record table. However, only the latter is usable. For example, I can:

wget wwww.mydomain.dev/api

But not:

wget augmented.dev/api

How can I ensure the latter works?

Thank you!

Heya, @trzy

The DNS seems to be working just fine. Keep in mind that DNS changes can take up to 24 hours in order to fully update. This usually happens a lot faster, but the DNS will still need some time to reflect your changes.

Heya,

Keep in mind that your DNS can propagate up to 48 hours.

Also make sure to use DigitalOcean’s Nameservers if you want to use DigitalOcean’s DNS.
