127.0.0.1 local breaks mDNS

[unbeatable-101]

Hello, I’ve been using your base host list in the AdGuard DNS blocking app on iOS and noticed that mDNS (e.g. being able to connect to my Mac and access files from my phone using computer-name.local) hasn’t been working ever since I started using this list since any request to a .local domain returns the ip address 127.0.0.1, as opposed to the private ip of the desired computer. Disabling the list solves the problem. Is there a reason for the host file to be set up like this?

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

Thank you for this question @unbeatable-101.

The 127.0.0.1 local entry does not match, never did match, and should not match .local domain addresses.

In your scenario, this would appear to be a bug in AdGuard DNS.

The 127.0.0.1 local hosts entry is present in some operating systems' hosts files.
