Hi, I’m hosting an own dns-server in my home-network, so that I can access my server in my private network with a domain without buying that domain. It works fine on my computer, but when I’m typing in the domain of my server on my smartphone, the browser doesn’t resolve to the local ip of my webserver.

I already tried to change the dns-entry in the settings manually, but it doesn’t worked. Do anybody of you faced the same problem or has a good solution for my problem?

    I have the same issue with my xiaomi 12x, before with a OnePlus 5t, but I gave up on it. It’s not a Google Pixel issue but in my observation a Google Chrome Issue. Firefox on the phone uses the DNS that DHCP defined for the devices, chrome ignores them and uses googles DNS. I don’t know if that’s “on purpose” or a bug, I find it pretty annoying - but what can you do…

    Whenever I need to access a locally defined URI, like “netdata.home” I open it on Firefox.
