[FIXED] v5.1 does not use DNS with klipper, also unable to edit connection

I have two setups, both with Klipper/moonraker/mainsail/fluidd. Version 5.1 DOES appear to use any form of DNS lookup that kills any VPN setup. However, I can use the IP address and the manual port number.

The manual port number is the only way it will find and test any Klipper setup. Auto seems to ignore the port ranges for Klipper.

DNS entries for vpn or even .local entries also fail hard. Very poor because the IP can easily change. it should be able to use things like mainsailos.local

Once a connection is set the only options are add new, delete, and reorder. we should be able to see some details like name : port.

Re: v5.1 does not use DNS with klipper, also unable to edit connection

We just released Version 5.1.1 today which had several new improvements for these issues. The automatic port option was improved to do a better job automatically determining the correct port number. The developers also added support for entering a local hostname or domain name instead of the numeric IP address. This will perform the DNS lookup that you mentioned to connect to a hostname such as mainsailos.local.
