Hello everyone,
I wanted to share the solution to my DNS resolution issue I encountered with the Monocle Gateway running on my network, which might be helpful for others experiencing similar problems.
Setup:
Cameras: UniFi G3
Controller: UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus
Display Device: Echo Show 8
Router: FRITZ!Box 7590
Issue:
I was facing persistent DNS resolution errors with the Monocle Gateway service, which prevented my Echo Show from accessing the camera stream. The error message indicated a DNS resolve error for the Monocle DNS address.
Solution:
The issue was related to DNS-Rebinding protection on my FRITZ!Box 7590. Here is how I resolved it:
Access the FRITZ!Box Interface:
Open a web browser and go to http://fritz.box.
Log in with your FRITZ!Box credentials.
Configure DNS-Rebind Exceptions:
Navigate to “Home Network” > “Network” > “Network Settings”.
In the “DNS-Rebind-Schutz” section, add the problematic DNS hostname to the exceptions list.
Click “Apply” to save the changes.
Restart the FRITZ!Box:
Go to “System” > “Backup” > “Restart” and click “Restart”.
After making these changes, the DNS resolution issue was resolved, and the Monocle Gateway service started working correctly with my Echo Show.
I hope this helps anyone facing similar issues.
