Note: there is no mention of gatsby.dev in the docs if i search for it

[DSchau]

My awesome co-worker @jlengstorf has some ideas here.

Do you have any local aliasing or other set up which could be preventing access to .dev domains? Can you visit, e.g. https://nodejs.dev?

Which browser are you using?

Note: there is no mention of gatsby.dev in the docs if i search for it

We're using it for error messaging, short links, etc. It wouldn't necessarily _need_ to be linked in our docs, but if there's a place that makes sense, we'd love a PR!

[muescha]

Note:

• on iphone safari in the same wifi it works
• chrome & safari not work

but on macos terminal its redirected to localhost

ping gatsby.dev

because i google for it and found nothing mentioning the redirect ... even the doc search not

[DSchau]

Do you have a redirect in /etc/hosts for any dev domains?

[muescha]

all .dev are routed to localhost

Yeah - so you've probably installed something or enabled something that routes .dev domains to localhost.

I'm not really sure how to best address this, because this is very much outside the realm of something we _can_ fix.

Have you done something like this by chance?

[jlengstorf]

I used to have this configured locally so I could develop different projects at local "domains". I had done this using Dnsmasq — maybe you did something similar? https://passingcuriosity.com/2013/dnsmasq-dev-osx/

nice that pow have placed a comment

[DSchau]

@muescha is the fix to just delete that file?

Glad you were able to mostly solve it--I'll close this out once you give the confirmation that this has, indeed, been solved.

[muescha]

renaming solved it - i can immediate use the links

[DSchau]

Wonderful!

Thanks to @jlengstorf for the assist, and glad you were able to solve it @muescha!
