Verkkokauppa.com DNS

Verkkokauppa.com is a chain of web and physical stores originating from (and limited to) Finland, akin of Amazon here if you will.

When trying to search for a USB-C computer mouse, IPvfoo¹ told me that the website was accessible over IPv6, which I never noticed before.

I then queried the DNS server to see where it was hosted and:

Server:		127.0.0.53
Address:	127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	verkkokauppa.com
Address: 34.95.73.242

Weird, no v6 there, let’s try with the www subdomain now:

Server:		127.0.0.53
Address:	127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.verkkokauppa.com	canonical name = www.verkkokauppa.com.cdn.cloudflare.net.
Name:	www.verkkokauppa.com.cdn.cloudflare.net
Address: 104.18.33.183
Name:	www.verkkokauppa.com.cdn.cloudflare.net
Address: 172.64.154.73
Name:	www.verkkokauppa.com.cdn.cloudflare.net
Address: 2606:4700:4400::ac40:9a49
Name:	www.verkkokauppa.com.cdn.cloudflare.net
Address: 2606:4700:4400::6812:21b7

Turns out the www subdomain (which the apex redirects to) is proxied through CloudFlare, therefore offering IPv6 connectivity, and uses different nameservers.

The apex uses Netnod DNS (AS8674)

The www subdomain uses CloudFlare (AS13335)

Now, back to finding my USB-C mouse.
