Windows 11 compatibility #22

Open aspriddell opened 2 years ago

aspriddell commented 2 years ago

Overview

Tested with latest windows 11 patch and found everything works except for SecurDNS.

Diagnosis

The DNS server is started and when queried against using NSLOOKUP it works but when using edge or chrome (update: any other program) a dns/host not found error shows.

aspriddell commented 2 years ago

it looks like the issue with the dns is to do with windows 11 having 2 caveats:

  1. the dns reloader is not the same as the windows 7/8/10 one
  2. it ignores 127.0.0.1 and ::1 as DNS servers
aspriddell commented 2 years ago

the dns reloader has been patched but the server being ignored is still an issue. There's an issue on the windows feedback hub but who knows if it ever gets addressed (https://aka.ms/AAddctm)

if it doesn't it might be a solution to get the local ip address and use that instead (i.e. 192.168.1.100)

for now, as there has been no activity on msft's end, the DNS tab will probably be hidden from the next update, so people don't get angry when it doesn't work
