I know what you’re trying to do, and what those tutorials don’t tell you is that you are shortcutting normal DNS flow, which most apps are expecting.

DNS isn’t designed to work that way, so some apps (like Firefox) with internal hard-coded DNS functions are going to balk at private RFC ips in a DNS record. Or a lack of reverse record.

Again, slow down and think about what your trying to do here. You are complicating your stack for no reason other than you don’t want to set up a local DNS handler.
