Summary

All *-tn.dwellir.com (Dwellir Tunisia) endpoints have been unreachable for 3+ months, confirmed by continuous nightly CI failures since #12112 (Jan 14, 2026) through the latest #12225 (Apr 2, 2026).

Direct connectivity tests against all 11 endpoints today confirmed they are completely down (connection refused/timeout), while the non-Tunisia Dwellir endpoints (*.n.dwellir.com) remain healthy.

Changes

Removed Dwellir Tunisia provider entries from:

DNS evidence — all Tunisia endpoints return zero A records

All 11 *-tn.dwellir.com hostnames return zero A records — DNS has been deprovisioned entirely. This is not a transient outage; the Tunisia cluster infrastructure has been decommissioned.

For comparison, the non-Tunisia Dwellir endpoints resolve and respond normally:

$ dig +short polkadot-rpc.n.dwellir.com
[resolves correctly]

$ curl -s -X POST https://polkadot-rpc.n.dwellir.com -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"system_health","params":[]}'
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"peers":16,"isSyncing":false,"shouldHavePeers":true}}
