.local domains generally don't work.
I came across this link while troubleshooting.

The solution given sudo discoveryutil mdnsactivedirectory yes doesn't work on macOS15 because discoveryutil isn't found.

The error appears as follows:
ping
cannot resolve Unknown host
dig
host is resolved

macOS 15 has a new "Local Network" permission that you have to grant in order to allow apps to access local IPs and domains, including orb.local.

If you accidentally denied it, you can find it in Settings > Privacy & Security.

For all my browsers, I have accepted the Local Network settings, yet the .local domain does not work. http://localhost:{port} works.

I am using the Arc browser and needed to allow Arc Helper (GPU) in addition to Arc. Now I am able to access https://orb.local again.

[sunilshenoy]

I have all the browsers permission enabled.

Just a quick note to say its working perfectly for me with Sequoia 15.1 and has always worked for me throughout the betas.

Version 1.7.4 (17448) fixes the issue for me. Thank you 🙏🏻

https://orb.local is inaccessible, but I added a custom domain name ecweb.local to the /etc/hosts file, and http://ecweb.local can be resolved and accessed.

Not working for me on macOS Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), Orbstack is also not appearing in "Local Network". I tried restarting the app, resetting all data, etc, etc. - nothing seems to bring up this local network prompt. orb.local is unreachable.

I have the same issue

Doesn't work for me either

Local Network Privacy is new in Sequoia. The developer would have to update the app with a "multicast entitlement" so that it can be granted access by the user.

I'm using Firefox. And just now i tried on Chrome, had the same problem, and found this topic after a few Google search.

I was pretty sure it was not Orbstack-related, as it never stopped working for me on Firefox.

And guess what ?

I've checked them all and now everything works on Chrome too. Thanks!
