Connections without DNS #2

Open OH2FTJ opened 6 months ago

OH2FTJ commented 6 months ago

Hi,

Thank you for the nice application! I was wondering, would it be feasible to support connections without DNS i.e. directly between IP addresses? Currently I can add the endpoints, but messages fail due to no DNS entries to routed networks.

Kind regards, Jouni

Hi @OH2FTJ , thank you so much for trying Khernet. Yes, currently the DNS of the computer is used (usually the hostname) to locate peers in the network, however for other LAN networks, it could cause that messages cannot be sent to peers as the foreign hostname is not resolved in current network.

I'll fix this issue in the next version.
