DNS

Special Domains#

.local#

Be careful if you are using macOS or Linux machines in your network. This domain is reserved for mDNS, which is like a plug-and-play DNS which doens’t need a DNS server.

.dev#

In most browsers this domain is hardcoded t be used with HSTS. Don’t use it for your local domain running HTTP.

Brave Browser#

If you locally configured DNS don’t work, you need to configure the DNS-Provider. By default it is OpenDNS. Under brave://settings/security you can set the OS-default as the DNS. Now the browser takes the same DNS as the ethernet-interface.
