      Ran into a slight problem that I was able to solve but thought I'd report here in case others run into it.

      While upgrading a 2100 from 25.0.7 to 25.11, I followed best practices and first removed packages (pfBlockerNG, Avahi and a couple more).

      After the upgrade I installed mDNS Bridge to test the replacement for Avahi. After trying to enable it I got: "Avahi reflection must be disabled before enabling mDNS Bridge"

      I rebooted the 2100 but same problem. I then reinstalled the Avahi package and disabled it. Then mDNS Bridge could be enabled. I finished by removing the Avahi package again.

      A couple simple tests and mDNS Bridge seems to be working well mirroring an iPhone to an AppleTV. Thank you very much @dennypage for this package.
