licensing.directadmin.com down

Site licensing.directadmin.com is down.

As a result, active installations cannot check the license and instead of Direct Admin appears:

License check failure See the Debug Guide Reason: request failed: Post "https://licensing.directadmin.com/start": dial tcp: lookup licensing.directadmin.com on [::1]:53: server misbehaving Current Server Time: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 23:04:58 CET

I have no issues with the domain. So it seems to be fixed already.

HTTPS is working, HTTP does not, which shouldn't be a problem, should always be a secure connection. There is not /start page

hi @bkida_cyberfolks, yes the issue you see in directadmin logs and the error in the screenshot are two different things. The error in directadmin means your DNS server is not working properly and can not resolve the licensing server address.

The screenshot shows that licensing servers does not work over plain-text. It never did as we do not accept communications over non-encrypted channel. But the error looks scary and misleading, thanks for reporting it. We have added HTTP to HTTPS redirect instead of error message.
