So I have a small local server running a website. It’s not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can’t see it on any iPhone or Android device though
I’ve looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android
Any tips?
::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN
I have a very similar issue.
Seems like Android will bypass your DNS resolver and thus cannot resolve your local names.
I have my home services on “home.mydomain.com” accessible from outside and re-mapped to “192.168.0.1” (my internal server IP) at home, and all PCs can access it while all android phones can only resolve to the public IP.
I feel it’s something related to DoT or similar but haven’t yet dig in that.
