Question

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.
