I can’t visit websites that have “.dev” domain

dnshosts-fileweb-development

I'm trying to visit websites like https://get.dev, but instead of loading website, there appears "Resolving host" message and then I'm getting "This site can’t be reached get.dev’s server IP address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN".

Here's what so far I have done:

  1. I've tried visit websites from different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) – but with no luck. So it's not duplicate to How to stop an automatic redirect from “http://” to “https://” in Chrome
  2. My hosts configuration is pretty default:
 127.0.0.1       localhost
 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
 ::1 localhost
 fe80::1%lo0     localhost
  1. I had got installed Laravel Valet before, but I removed it and uninstalled dnsmasq (brew uninstall dnsmasq). Afer I removed I've restarted my computer.
  2. I've tried also to ping those domains, but console (after some time) returns only ping: cannot resolve get.dev: Unknown host
  3. It's possible to visit ".dev" websites from other computers in the same wi-fi network.

I'm wondering what else I can do to debug it and make it work?

Ok, I figured it out:

  1. I used command scutil --dns which returned current resolvers configuration
  2. There was entry:
 resolver #8
  domain   : dev
  nameserver[0] : 127.0.0.1
  flags    : Request A records, Request AAAA records
  reach    : 0x00030002 (Reachable,Local Address,Directly Reachable Address)
  1. Then I went to the catalog /etc/resolver and I found there file called dev.
  2. I've removed that file and everything started working just fine
