Multiple TXT records on AWS Route53
Posted: | Categories: tech
I am trying Protonmail, a very secure, very privacy focus company. To manage domains other than protonmail.com or pm.com, protonmail requires some changes in DNS, and in particular adding a TXT for domain ownership validation. I did it on Route53, all good.

When the test is good, do the change. When blocked a WHOIS of the domain will return Status: PendingUpdate Note: the DNS check will try regularly for 5 days, then will revert back to the previous value of the NS field. Read more...
