Description

In the keybase app on my home iMac, the app says that my dns proof is unreachable; however, it is reachable through the keybase.io website for me and it is reachable in the app on my macBookPro running on the same network. Dig also shows the proof. I have tried restarting, checking my dns entry, updating keybase but still seeing the error. Also tried the "I fixed it, retry" option of course without success.

Screenshots sent separately to Chris via chat.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the DNS proof verification discrepancy in the Keybase app on the iMac, comparing it with the website and MacBook Pro behavior. Review the DNS proof lookup path and the supplied log ID 744083188ff38d9a5f97531c; done means the same reachable proof is handled consistently across the reported clients.
