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

Same here, just stumbled across this issue yesterday when I tried to restructure my network to use .local

I think it was only added in android 12.

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.

Been working fine for me for twenty years or more in a mixed environment.

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