    A problem with the .lan TLD (maybe others from this list) is that web browsers do not consider it a TLD when you type it in the address bar, and only show you the option to search for that term in your default search engine. You have to explicitly type https:// before it, to have the option to visit the URL.

    E.g type example.com in the address bar -> pressing Enter triggers going to https://example.com. Type example.lan -> pressing Enter triggers a search for example.lan using your default search engine.
