Gosh, wish I'd known that before I'd gone and run a secure, production-grade development server for six years. I'll be sure to tell those two IT friends of mine they aren't knowing professionals either. They've wasted years of their lives successfully doing a job they apparently can't do.
Deserved sarcasm aside, I merely said that it wasn't a "fix-all". It's a valid solution, but not the only solution, and not necessarily one that magically works in every imaginable scenario. (P.S. My experience with dnsmasq was from about two years ago, not today.)
"RTFM" is never an appropriate response to anyone. My anger is directed at that, and rightly so. There are many people here on DEV who would be crushed by that remark, with its deliberately hateful insinuation of stupidity. "I read the documentation, but I didn't get it. I must not be legitimate." An insinuation you just helped add fuel to.
I'm a web developer and father from The Netherlands. I mostly do Frontend Web development, but I'm also known to dabble in PHP, MySQL and AWS. I'm interested in learning Vue and NodeJS.

I came here to say that maybe the topic of setting up your own "central" server could be a good dev.to article!
