No device found when using DNS masquerade #166

Closed francesco-vannini closed 4 years ago

francesco-vannini commented 4 years ago

Expected Behavior

The BBC Microbit should be found and connected via BT using the Scratch Link

Actual Behavior

No device is found despite several refreshes

Steps to Reproduce

Set the DNS to use either OpenDNS or use the default DNS of the router which in turn uses OpenDNS :)

Once the DNS is set to my ISP directly or via my router the problem disappears.

Operating System and Browser

Windows 10.0.18363 Build 18363 using Scratch desktop or Chrome 80.0.3987.163 (Official Build) (64-bit) Scratch Link 1.3.0 (7ef11a6) Win32NT

Maybe read #137 ?

Hi @apple502j the issue is definitely related to that so wrong title from me. As in #137 this link https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/3597312/ seems to address the problem too.

It would be nice to document this issue at least within the FAQ of scratch.mit.edu/microbit as I'm sure many will have a similar setup to mine.

I created a "host override" within DNS Resolver of my Pfsense and that solved the issue throughout the network. Editing the local host file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts) also works. image

I guess the issue's title should change to No device found when using DNS masquerade
