Conflicts on Valet and .dev websites

Does anyone have an issue accessing .dev websites on the internet (in my case https://shopify.dev - an actual website that is not on my local)? It seems like Valet is causing this because it shows Valet - Not Found.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Did you perhaps set valet up to use .dev for your local sites instead of .test which is default?

@Sinnbeck that's weird, I thought the default is .dev? I did not touch any configuration (both my mac mini and MacBook uses .dev)

@Sinnbeck Ohhh my fault. I remember now. I did change it to .dev because of a social media authentication that I'm working on that requires a domain that is not .test.

You have set .dev as yout Valet TLD perhaps. You can either (i) revert to the default .test TLD; or add exceptions to the DNSMasq configuration for any real .dev website (which is tedious)!

The only workaround that I can think of is to edit /etc/hosts file and add the IP with the .dev domain (in this case it's 185.146.173.20 shopify.dev)

@neilstee it is not the only option. DNSMasq is intercepting the domain.dev requests; and sending it to Valet to handle. You can configure DNSMasq to whitelist certain domains.
