Open TommisGR opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

When using an IP address "#.#.#.#" it connects fine When using a "some.ddns.net" address gives a Error looking up "some.ddns.net" no address associated with hostname. any ideas as to why Force to write IP address each time host changes (dynamic) From Xperia E2105 rooted (kingroot) stock rom

Please have a look at your DNS settings for wifi. Seems that there is a wrong or no DNS. You can use e.g. googles DNS at 8.8.8.8

This was the first things tried. I have already put 8.8.8.8 as primary DNS same issue. Even tried my ISP's DNS same results. Seems only tinc hostname resolve is effected.

As a Workaround. I installed AdAway on my phone. This tool has a tab to define a redirection (similar to /etc/hosts). I use it for an other situation.

Just as an input. you can restrict bindings to ipv4 or ipv6. Maybe there is an issue. If its working, we can close the bug.
