Hi. I've noticed this issue before. I have to turn off my Mozilla VPN to get it to resolve, or use a different DNS server than what the VPN provides.

Not seeing what you are, here on a Sonic circuit. Looks like the name is managed through edgekey/akamai, so there's really no telling what'll happen as CNAMEs and delegation gets changed. Give it some time to settle, would be my advice. jong@GILBERT-SAYS-WINDOWS-IS-THE-WORST:~$ dig tools.usps.com. +trace +recurse ; <<>> DiG 9.16.48-Ubuntu <<>> tools.usps.com. +trace +recurse ;; global options: +cmd . 0 IN NS l.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS e.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS j.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS k.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS b.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS m.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS h.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS d.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS g.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS f.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS i.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS c.root-servers.net. . 0 IN NS a.root-servers.net. ;; Received 432 bytes from 172.17.128.1#53(172.17.128.1) in 0 ms com. 172800 IN NS m.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS i.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS j.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS e.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS b.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS a.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS l.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS d.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS c.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS f.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS g.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS h.gtld-servers.net. com. 172800 IN NS k.gtld-servers.net. com. 86400 IN DS 19718 13 2 8ACBB0CD28F41250A80A491389424D341522D946B0DA0C0291F2D3D7 71D7805A com. 86400 IN RRSIG DS 8 1 86400 20250921170000 20250908160000 46441 .
