    Thanks but I hardly needed anyone permission to not use that. .local still works just fine.

      Except when it doesn’t. It can have issues around multicast dns.

      I’ve had issues with .local on my Android device. Straight up doesn’t work. I had to change to .lan

      It just means .internal won’t be relayed out on the internet, as it will be reserved for local only.

      Good luck with that. .local is reserved for mDNS calls, and not every OS treats it the same way. Ask me how I know.

      I used to use .local but mDNS can get confused, .home has been fine though
