      I recently added entry to my Host Overrides in order to resolve issue related self host subdomain. My PC has no issue access the subdomain now after I added the entry. But for some reason my iPhone is still showing public ip address when I ping the subdomain rather than the local ip on Host Overrides. My iPhone is assigned to 192.168.1.167. I tried enabled private network setting on my iOS which basically generate a new mac address hence generate a new ip address. Now when I ping the subdomain on my iphone, it showing the local ip. But when I switch back to 192.168.1.167, it showing the public ip address. Is there additional step that I need to do? I already tried restart "unbound" services.

        That's all down to how iOS is resolving it. It sounds like when it thinks it's on a public network it ignores the DNS server IP it's sent via DHCP and uses something else. DoH maybe.

          @nevar The original DNS record may be cached on the phone. What was its TTL? You could try restarting the phone.

          Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
