Several users of C4Gnet.XYZ are unable to log in successfully.

We started getting calls on 4/17/2026 about problems connecting to the RTN via DNS, which is C4GNET.XYZ

The C4Gnet.XYZ DNS is not working for some users, while it is fine for others. This took some digging, but we have narrowed it down to something not working properly with the DNS. We have a 100% effective workaround to this issue if you need it.

Contact [email protected] if you need help with a solution to this issue.
