Comment 19 for bug 1706187

I am sorry for not responding. I wasn't sure how to block a single domain using OS X's firewall, and after a while, I gave up. Could you please give me some pointers on this?

How pi-hole works is that it returns its own IP for blocked domains (I think! I'm not very familiar with DNS) and it just shows a page where I can whitelist the domain if I want to. Of course, this does not work for HTTPS sites like freegeoip.net. For those, I just get a "refused to connect" error in the browser.

It could be that when Stellarium tries to contact freegeoip.net, it does receive a response, but that response doesn't conform to its expectations, and therefore it crashes.
