Are you a web developer and using local development server? You're probably using a Linux Virtual Machine or Vagrant Images that serves the same purpose - serve website locally. You might also use a .dev domain on your local server - which is great identifier from your live domain names. Maybe this time you need to update your /etc/hosts - when using Macs or Linux machines. In reference to this article , you may need to update your hosts configuration because sooner or later, major browsers will adopt this and .dev domains in your local web server will no longer work. There are ways, in which you need to install an SSL certificate (self-signed) to make it work. I have update my Chrome browser and my .dev sites are no longer working anymore :( There are options like using .test or .localhost but for me, I might use the .test for now and hopefully things will work as before.
