      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.

          To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
          Only install packages for your version of pfSense.
