linodeip/wp-admin redirects to my domain.com but times out
I've spent two days trying to set this up, not an issue its all a learning curve. my WP is properly installed finally but I believe I have some dns/a record issues.
I use google domains with custom name servers, I have the proper ns1-5.linode.com setup in google domains using the custom name servers option. and in linode I also have what I think is a proper setup, where I have the SOA record with my domain name and my email I use for google domains, and in my NS records I have again ns1-5.linode.com and my domain to the right under the subdomain tab.
when I use $ dig +short natedotcomdotcom.com I'm getting my ip which from another thread I read implied that I have an improperly configured dns, but also when I map the network using nmap, it maps my linode ip implying that its set up properly, I think?
I can go to my linode ip fine and it shows me the default WP page but when I try to access the admin panel it redirects me to my domain/wp-admin and times out… pls help.
USEFULL INFO:
linode ip - 45.33.73.56
my domain - natedotcomdotcom.com
when I say ns1-5.linode.com I don't mean it literally I mean that i have a separate one for each number btw.
thank you!

When using a dig command, it is a DNS querying utility that allows you to diagnose issues with domain name resolution. In your case, I believe you were waiting for the DNS to propagate, because I can navigate to your admin panel without a problem. I'm able to retrieve your A record for your domain and can see that your NS servers are configured correctly by running a dig command:
dig natedotcomdotcom.com +short
45.33.73.56
dig ns natedotcomdotcom.com +short
ns2.linode.com.
ns3.linode.com.
ns4.linode.com.
ns5.linode.com.
ns1.linode.com.
