Alias limitations? Some aliases work, some don't..?

Support / Troubleshooting

I am surprised and impressed I can set aliases for my remote computer to “google.com” or my personal website “xav.ie” even though I have no such DNS settings on it!

However, I want to ssh in like this “ssh x@v.ie” … but this does not work. I know the .ie TLD is valid, but why is “v” not working but “xav” does? I also tried “av.ie” and that also worked.

Does anyone know if there is a reason why I can’t alias to “v.ie”?

Perhaps all domains must be at least two characters? I really wish “v.ie” would work as alias!

Hi there.

Can you tell me what platform you’re running the Twingate client on? I just did a few quick tests and had no problem using v.ie as an alias and SSH’ing in to the particular host from either a Windows or MacOS machine.

Thanks!
