I then removed the entry for 9.9.9.9 and added it back after a few minutes. The DNS server check was then successful. After a while, the entry was marked with an error again, and the same thing happened when I tried adding 8.8.8.8.
That indicates that knot tried to get a response but it took too long. The communication for peer tls validation was occurring but it just took too long.
That error message from my searching is an indication that either their server was overloaded at that time and therefore taking longer than it should do to respond or that there was some traffic bottleneck between yourself and their server. The message means that it took too long for the quad9 server to respond to the tls request
I just tried that dns server in my CU203 and it shows as a green OK. I will leave it in for an hour or so and see if it still shows the same status as you mentioned that for you it started okay but then stopped after a while. Can you say how long that while was?
When I enable 9.9.9.9 and then click “Check,” it shows green. If I run another check shortly afterward (within a minute), an error appears that persists even after further checks.
I ended up leaving my system for 1.5 hours as I was busy elsewhere. quad9 is still showing a green OK.
I have no idea.
It might be worth showing the Logs - System Logs and choosing Domain Name System in the drop down box labelled Section: and showing the logs for the period from when you enabled 9.9.9.9 till after you had the red Fehler response from the status. Maybe there is a bit more info available than in just the mouse pointer message.
As there is nothing in the knot logs then the issue is not with knot but most likely from either the dns server itself or some issue with the route from the dns server to your system.
