Randomly I thought I would run the updater in the Dashboard, because I have like to be up-to-date with stuff (I’m a little OCD in the days of security vulnerabilities). Didn’t work, got errors. I’ve looked through the forum, and Googled a bit.
To summarize what I found, it seems the my box, and another box on a different ISP account from mine, both are unable to resolve lab.quickbox.io
It looks like some have had issues similar to this, but was related to their boxes having the incorrect time. Which (as shown below) my box is showing the correct date and time. I’m just looking for what I might be missing or why the updater isn’t working?
Below are the steps I went through to show my thought path and troubleshooting steps.
Here’s what I’m seeing when I run the updater:

With that I saw a lot of people having related issues, and it seemed to be related to time. If I do timedatctl I get the correct output:

I am able to ping google.com and gethub.com and get responses, none failing if run for awhile.

I also have seen the recommendation by @JMSolo to sudo apt install bc
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
bc is already the newest version (1.06.95-9build1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Then I made sure ubuntu was updated, and also even rebooted the box (You can tell I’m a Windows user huh) to make sure everything is working correctly. The last ditch effort I could think of was running a sudo su thenbox upgradeand that seemed to have issues (and the dashboard updater still reports the same original message after as well)

With the laboquickbox.io error, I decided to look into that. I’m using a pfSense dual Xeon box as my router and OpenDNS entries on my box. In the following order:
DNS server(s)
127.0.0.1
208.67.222.123
208.67.220.123
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
209.244.0.3
209.244.0.4
82.200.69.80
84.200.70.40
I know Google DNS is used a lot to troubleshoot, so I took out all the other entries and just left the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and ran the ping again from my router
The following input errors were detected:
Host “lab.quickbox.io” did not respond or could not be resolved.
And just to make sure I’m not going crazy, I logged into my buddy’s QuickBox (that I helped him setup) and tried the same stuff. Same issue inside of the Dashboard and pinging lab.quickbox.io from his router (Which is a TPIlink unmodified router using ISP DNS). Him and I have the same ISP but are on different nodes across town from each other.
Both boxes are strict QuickBox setups, unbuntu v16.04 server (so commandline only). Though I feel there is something else, not box related, going on due to the router’s not being able to resolve the problem. I know trying to help someone troubleshoot ISP related issues can be a bother, but wondering if I’m really the only one that this is happening to… and maybe any thoughts on what would be causing it.
So to end this long thought… what did I do wrong and/or break? Or for some reason could my ISP be blocking something on their end (which I feel is highly unlikely but is possible) Anyone have any suggestion. I’m sitting here scratching my head, but wanted to present all the data in hopes someone found something I missed.
