I’m sure you get 100;s of these but setting up Start One from new. Followed all instructions and troubleshooting instructions. I am using Mac OS14.6. Certificated is trusted and shows blue cross. Mac has been restarted. All browsers cache clared, hard reset. Tried Chrome, Brave, Safari, Firefox.
I can not get a connection to the .local address. The address on the download is HTTP:// word-word.local format. On Chrome the error is ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED, on Safari it just hangs on Brave DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE on firefox nothing.
Firewall is off
I can however connect via Tor Browser using Onion address although it asks me to move from the HTTP address to an HTTPS address
I’m franlkly lost on networking so have no clue what to try next (I have tried turning it on and off again)
Hi Josef… not quite 100s, since yours has a strange twist in that the combination of things you have and are using shouldn’t be a problem.
You should be able to access your StartOS UI on https://adjective-noun.local regardless of anything else, you don’t even need the root CA for that.
That you were able to access start.local just prior (right? Or has some time passed?) then not access the equivalent makes no sense.
.locals are easy to resolve on Mac OS, the only common thing that would break them is the new local network permissions that apps such as browsers would need to reach them. But this can’t be your problem since you just accessed start.local
I think the next step is checking whether the server shows up on your router as a connected device. If it doesn’t, check the network cable and check that the device is properly connected. If it does, grab the IP address and try to access the server with that and see if we can’t find another clue.

Thanks for response. Yes I was able to access Start.local from start up. Problem came with using the HTTP address in the downloaded html file.
Now I have the IPV.4 address and when I paste that into browser I get message saying certificate is trusted & then log in page appears.
However when I paste / type the LAN address https://word-word.local/ any browser I get no connection at all. The IP address shows up unnamed when I do an Angry IP scan of network
In System → About you should see the unique .local. You should be able to confirm it. The only thing I can immediately think of is that you have a typo.
Try accessing the .local from another device on the network. And make sure both devices are on the same subnet.
Yes in the system it shows LAN as https://word-word.local
In the html file its shows same but as http://
I have tried on iPad, iPhone - no connection
I have tried both http & https - no connection
I have tried copy paste from html, copy paste from the system dash & manual typing - no connection
If all devices are not allowing you to connect to the server, and your server is working fine and you have restarted it, the only other place to look is on your router. I’d restart that.

Ok, that will take some time. My entire house is I internet enabled as are my miners - taking the router offline is not a 10min job.
I assume if I can connect via IP address & over Tor I can just leave it at that ? If I can’t make the provided LAN address work will that cause issues?
Understood. I think we’re looking in the right place though from what you’re saying. Any router setup that isn’t preserved after a quick restart is likely going to be incredible complex.
I assume this is the first time you’ve used mDNS on your network, and so the first time you’ve seen anything like this? We’ve seen people with router configurations that block mDNS or cause it to not work sporadically.
Yes, you can use the IP address to access the StartOS dashboard. The problem will be accessing individual service UIs, which rely heavily on mDNS, at least for a while until v0.3.6 and v0.4.0 of StartOS are released, where we’ll enable IPs and unique ports for each.
