homeassistant@lemmy.world•Why do my LG smart fridge and my GE washer and dryer all have DNS servers? And is there a way I can control them without the manufacturer's miserable apps?
3·3 months ago@early_riser it can get even worse. Some washingmachine manufacturers over here offer more programs to select from if you pay 10 CHF every month to them 😩

@KingOogaBooga for the DNS part:
I have indeed a #pihole running in my local network where I host a nextcloud instance with a fix IP address.
If I am connected to my local network with a client or want access via a browser, pihole returns this IP address to my device.
If my device is connected to the internet one of the DNS server handling dynamic IPs will return the official current IP address of e.g. a Home assistant server.
It is mostly a point of easier and faster. Why should my device connected to my local Wlan go out to the internet just to use my server in the local Wlan?
You don’t really need a reverse proxy if you have just one application running on one server. But the more applications you are hosting the easier is it for handling SSL certificates for all of them
