How to get a free .arpa domain

They return failures and exceptions when attempting to generate the certificate for the .arpa domain and then I spent months trying to get a refund (they are very slow to respond) and only caved once I threatened a chargeback for the service not working as advertised.
It's just a domain. You can put anything into your zone. A, AAAA, PTR, TXT, you can even put HESIOD records if you want to party like its Kerberos nineteen ninety IV.

There are websites as well
I have native ipv6 at home and on my hosting, so that's nice. Unfortunately the he.net tunnels are used for a lot of abuse now and you treated like a bot if you use them to go to popular websites. :(
Uhh... Please don't. This is how nice things get taken down due to abuse.

IIRC, .arpa domains are based on locations in the address space. CAs are supposed to secure your connection to a specific entity, not only a specific location, so that's probably why.
Say what?
I'll go fix it now
I don't see what's wrong with calling that process propagating a change. And since it's propagating the change to become available in DNS, propagating DNS fits. :P
That process doesn't really involve any caching resolvers between you and the authoritative, but since you had to wait for the changes to propagate to the authoritative servers and you're just doing more waiting until the caching resolvers re-query, I understand why people include waiting for caching revolvers when they say DNS propagation.
Anyway, I'm open to a good definition of "propagate" that specifically requires push or an active process rather than pull/polling; I don't really see a basis for that looking at merriam-webster[1]:

By changing the results on the authoritative and as caching recursive resolvers requery, the new results spread out and affect a greater number. By answering queries with the new data, as caching recursives requery, the servers foster growing knowledge of the new results. And certainly those definitions fit toward updating the authoritative servers.
