bit of digging:

6 DNS servers for nic.club (nsX.dns.nic.club) and none are responding.

all IPs are in the routing table of my routers, so its not a Facebook style issue...

IPs are:

156.154.144.215 156.154.145.215 156.154.159.215 156.154.156.215 156.154.157.215 156.154.158.215

all seem to be owned by NeuStar Inc (https://bgp.he.net/AS397220#_prefixes)

Weirdly, MTR to the IP hits the server, but DNS is not respodning on it...

I've tried different networks, resolvers and .club Domains. Therefore the Top level domain seems to be unavailable.

The issue seems to be resolved now.
