moving domain to google domains

Configure
  • Hariundefined

    I am moving in my domain to google domains. i have authorized the security code and everything and it will be moved in automatically in 5days.

    while moving into google domain it offered the settings to keep existing DNS settings which is CF i have checked that option.

    hoping everything will be moved successfully. once it is moved i have to make sure everything is working HTTPS at CF and also need to set email forward at google domain.

    as you know at times i am experiencing HTTP to HTTPS redirect failures, shall i set the HTTPS option at google DNS level?

    do you have any other suggestions?

    @hari If you’re still using Cloudflare to pass the traffic through then you should leave everything as it is and ensure you force https at that level. Moving the domain to Google will have no bearing on the https side of things if they are not hosting the site directly.

    //update// I have successfully moved to google domains and configured email forwarder so far everything is working fine.

    emails are forwarding to gmail and outgoing emails are sent using elastic email for cloudways.

    while configuring forwarders i have come across DNSSEC

    and i configured following this, this one line looks scary

    ce359788-fd95-41e9-b22a-6a93aacec23b-image.png

    should i hit publish? or do indeed to wait till Sep 18, 2021, 12:00:00 PM ?

    i am using google domains with CF. by publishing this will cause any downtime?

    @hari If the domain is in the progress of being migrated, then I’d personally wait rather than force the activation of DNSSEC. In most cases, DNSSEC itself does not cause any downtime, but if your domain is still in the migration phase, then this could represent issues which are easily avoided by simply waiting.

    Personally, I’d let everything bed in for a week to ensure it’s all ok before enabling anything else.

    @phenomlab as per your suggestion after updating the tag and key i left it alone, thought i can publish it later after 2 or 3 days.

    today, when i rechecked google domains already published it and CF, detected it.

    So, that is all we need to do?

    @Hari DDoS protection is not just a switch, or one component. It’s a collection of different and often disparate technologies that when grouped together form the basis of a combined toolset that can be used in defence. Typically these consist of IDS (Instrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) components that detect irregularities in network traffic, and will take decisive action based on predefined rulesets, or in the case of more modern systems, AI and ML. Traditional “traffic shaping” technology is also deployed, so if an attack cannot be easily identified as malicious, the bandwidth available to that connection is severely limited to nothing more than a trickle rather than a full flow. Years ago, ISP’s used traffic shaping (also called “policers”) as an effective means of stopping applications such as BearShare, eDonkey, Napster, and other P2P based sharing systems from functioning correctly - essentially reducing the “appeal” of distributing and seeding illegal downloads. This was essentially the ISP’s way of saying “stop what you are doing please” without actually pulling the plug. These days, DDoS attacks are designed to overwhelm - not assume control of - webservers and other public facing components. It’s rare for small entities to be attacked unless there is some form of political agenda driven by your site or product. A classic example is governmental institutions or lawmakers who effectively are classed as “enforcers” and those who disagree are effectively making a statement in the form of Denial of Service. DDoS protection is effectively the responsibility of the hosting provider, but you shouldn’t just assume that they will protect you or your site. Their responsibility stops at their infrastructure, so it’s then up to you too decide how you full the gap in between your host and the website. Typically, you’d leverage something like Imunify360 which you can get for Plesk (and something I’d strongly recommend) but it’s not free, and is a paid (not expensive per month) subscription. If you want to use VirtualMin then there are a variety of tools readily available out of the box such as firewalls and fail2ban.

    @phenomlab Just had a look at all settings and advice given. I’m going to set up the redirect once I have the forum ready to accept members. I’d hate for anyone to be forwarded at this moment in time .
