I use my Hub 3 in modem mode, with a Pfsense box as my router. I have my own internal hostname for the Hub 3 to avoid having to type the IP address in each time I need to access it. I used to be able to access the web interface via this hostname, rather than typing the IP. Presumably, Virgin have pushed a new update to the Hub 3, as I now just get redirected to a rebind_warning.html page with the contents "DNS REBIND ATTACK" when using the hostname, and the only to access without this is via IP. Is there any way to disable this behaviour?

Our Hub 3 has been on Software version 9.1.2208.100 for many months.
Try a ping of the Hub 3 via the host name.

As far a I know the VM hubs in modem mode do not do or handle any DNS requests. I should look elsewhere for the problem.

So I’ve edited my /etc/hosts file to make the following entry:
192.168.100.1 modem.test
And I can ping this fine from my machine:
liamriley@Mac-Mini ~ $ ping modem.test
PING modem.test (192.168.100.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.100.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=62 time=2.663 ms
But when I try to access http://modem.test in my browser, I get redirected to http://192.168.100.1/rebind_warning.html
Really stumped on this one, because this problem definitely did not occur before, and Client62 tells me that the software has not been updated for some time.

Must be your browser doing this then try another like Edge
Or maybe it is the hub? when it see modem.test in http request?

curl -IL modem.test

Hi @lriley06,
Welcome back to our community forums and sorry to hear you are having issues when using hub 3 in modem mode. Unfortunately, as this involves third-party equipment, we are unable to best advise on this. Please would advise getting in contact with the company of your main router who can best advise. Please let us know if you need any help.
Thanks,

Test modem mode with a PC no router and see if you get the DNS Rebind
