rDNS change

Hello there, just wondering, what’s the best way to get my rDNS name changed to something more anonymous?

Re: rDNS change

Hey there @bartstope 

 

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. We're super busy at the minute. 

 

I can certainly sort it for you. What do you want it to switch to?

Re: rDNS change

Hello Will, thank you!

 

no problem at all - just a textual representation of the IP, anything annoymous is fine.... I somehow knew, but also forgot that my static ip is my username, which is also my name, only realised last week when we were doing some analysis at work of web traffic to a certain page on our website, and I saw my own name in amongst the btcentral and other names that just look like random gateways

 

thank you again!

Re: rDNS change

I would similarly appreciate a change to my rDNS to something that is not my username.

Re: rDNS change

Hey there @customer456 do you want it as a static IP or a domain that you own?

Re: rDNS change

If the rDNS can just be the ip address then that would be great.

As soon as it's been done I'll let you know 

After the 3rd of November I will have a limited presence here as I have moved to a new role
