Pow domains not loading in Chrome


I ran into the same issue, but changing from OpenDNS to Google's DNS servers didn't help. Apparently, this is an issue with the asynchronous DNS built into Chrome.

There are a couple workarounds:

  • Use .xip.io domain instead of .dev
  • Disable asynchronous DNS in chrome://flags
  • Disable NXDOMAIN helper

I ended up disabling asynchronous DNS and my .dev domains work again.

Here's where I found more information:


Thanks to user Dan Reedy (see above) I was able to fix this by moving from OpenDNS to the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 settings. Now, pages load faster and Pow servers are working again. And they seem to actually load much faster. Awesome!


I look up my IP via Network Preferences on a Mac OS X, and navigate to a domain like so :

http://subdomain.name-of-app-directory.ip-address.xip.io

So an example would be :

http://subdomain.website.10.0.0.0.22.xip.io
