Hi,
I’ve got an email from google stating that it wasn’t able to access my website:
Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 1 errors while attempting to retrieve DNS information for your site. The overall error rate for DNS queries for your site is 100.0%. You can see more details about these errors in Webmaster Tools.
I’ve looked through my DNS configuration in digitalocean dashboard, and all seems fine. Is there something that i’m missing?

Hi Kamal, Here is my UFW configuration.
ok icmp codes
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type destination-unreachable -j DROP -A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type source-quench -j DROP -A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type time-exceeded -j DROP -A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type parameter-problem -j DROP -A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT As per your suggetion ,I changed DROP to ACCEPT in last line. Is it ok or I have to ACCEPT all ICMP?
Thanks Kamal ,I will try this ,Is there no option to allow googlebot with ICMP blocked?
