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, My websites are working fine,I am using Ubuntu 12.04 ufw and some specific ports are allowed.ICMP is also blocked.Issue is when I enable firewall Googlebot unable to access my sites but when I disable UFW ,Googlebot can access my sites. Thanks in advance.
Hi Kamal, Here is my UFW configuration.
