Add DNS local entry

  • 772

I have a local server 192.168.1.10 (I attached DNS record locally to HTTP://inventory.local) In the local network I use this service perfectly.

Today, I decided to connect to the local network via VPN, and unfortunately, I got the error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. I add the DNS record to /etc/hosts:

192.168.1.10    http://inventory.local

It does not solve the issue, but I can ping IP 192.168.1.10 and host http://inventory.local. In my case browser can't use this record.

How to configure ubuntu to use a local site via VPN?

    http://, and its encrypted variation https://, is a protocol prefix for the Hypertext Transfer Protocol or HTTP. It doesn't belong to the Domain Name System or DNS, to a hosts file or any other way of name resolution.

    Therefore, the entry in your /etc/hosts needs to be something like

    192.168.1.10    inventory.local

    There may be additional problems, but a http:// prefix doesn't belong in a hosts file in any case ;)
