Hi
I have been trying to setup a openfire server with dns, however it seems like there is an issue I really can’t get a hold of. I use a dynu dns, and when i ping it from the same computer and other units connected mobile data instead, I get full response. The xmpp domain name and FQDN is set to the respective dns (havilaheroy.freeddns.org), but it doesn’t work.
Any idea what may be wrong?

What do mean by this in concrete? Currently, I get 148.122.187.2 for havilaheroy.freeddns.org, but there are no suitable listeners detected:
# nmap havilaheroy.freeddns.org -A

I mean that the dns seems to be up and running with no problem, but that i cannot login to admin console through havilaheroy.freeddns.org:9090 and neither can any users connect to openfire.
I’ve checked the ports on the computer and they are all open for openfire.
I am wondering if there are any server settings I must do in Openfire in order to make it work?
It is setup as a local database server. The lan itself is administered by a 3rd party on behalf of my company, but i don’t think they have blocked these ports out, or at least im not certain. Should i try some other generic port instead?
Alternatively, do you have any suggestions for a local dns-function?
I am setting up this server only for local use onboard the vessel i am working at, but the computer keeps changing local ip and for some reason i am not allowed to set a permanent ip-address.
This is likely a routing issue in your network.
Openfire does not have anything specific for DNS. When you set the FQDN value for Openfire, it will use that when it exposes the server address as part of an URL, for example, but that’s pretty much it.
From a client, determine what IP the DNS lookup for havilaheroy.freeddns.org resolves. Check if that corresponds with the IP address of the server. Then, check if the client computer can reach that server (eg: use ICMP ping), and then verify if it can reach the specific ports on the server (port 5222 is where the basic XMPP functionality is exposed), using something like openssl or nmap, like @gjaekel showed.
