Verifying and troubleshooting

April 15, 2026

Run the verify check and interpret common DNS errors.


After DNS is live, click Verify domain on the channel settings page. OmniCon runs two checks against public DNS:

  1. TXT check — looks up _omnicon-verify.<your-domain> and expects omnicon-verify=<your-channel-id>.
  2. CNAME check — resolves your domain and expects it to point at omnicon.cloud.

When both pass, the domain is marked verified and the middleware starts routing traffic on the next request.

Common errors

  • No TXT record found — the TXT record hasn't propagated, or it was added at the wrong host. It must be at _omnicon-verify.<your-domain>, not at the apex.
  • TXT value doesn't match — the record exists but the value is wrong. Copy the expected value from the settings page exactly.
  • CNAME doesn't point to omnicon.cloud — the domain resolves somewhere else. Double-check the CNAME target.

Checking DNS yourself

OmniCon uses Google's DNS-over-HTTPS to resolve records, so what you see with dig or nslookup against 8.8.8.8 should match what verification sees. If they differ, it's almost always propagation lag — wait and retry.
