Hi again,  
I have my raspberry pi running umbrel, and its connected to the wifi.  
I can access umbrel by using the IP address in a browser, and have full access.  
If I use putty, I can use the same IP and get access.  
If I use umbrel.local in a browser however, I get a message saying it cannot connect to the server at umbrel.local.

How can I make umbrel.local work properly?  
I am wanting to use that address to connect Electrum wallet to Electrs running on the node.

Any idea how to fix this, or why its not working?

It doesn’t work with the most common browser, Chrome.

Try firefox.
