     @lispi314 The server is up, meaning uptime hasn't reduced, the issue is that you can't resolve the server.
     
     There's a reason DNS servers require >=2 hosts.

     @Suiseiseki It's possible through reverse-proxy and VPN setups to ruin outwardly visible uptime of a service via DNS failure. The server itself may become unable to resolve the VPN it needs to maintain service uptime.
