09/04/2023, 2:10 AMI have a toit device running a web server on my home network and it would be great to be able access it using a .local domain through mDNS. Should this work out of the box? I'm a little inexperienced when it comes to networking and am not quite sure what the device name would be. Looking at the connected devices to my wifi I see one called toit but toit.local/toit.local:9000 bear no response.

I think @erikcorry looked into it. So maybe he has more information.

Feel free to remind us from time to time.
