#### FritzBox network settings

If you get the following error after installing and calling up the url <https://local.polydocs.io:12500/>, here are the reasons:– DNS resolution of private IP addresses not possible.– DNS resolution for domain names that refer to private IP addresses in the FRITZ!Box home network is not possible via the FRITZ!Box. This means that server services in the FRITZ!Box home network cannot be accessed via the domain name. You may see one of the following error messages:“DNS timed out”“DNS request timed out” *Caused* For security reasons, the FRITZ!Box suppresses DNS responses that refer to IP addresses in your own home network. This is a security feature of the FRITZ!Box to protect against so-called DNS rebinding attacks. If you use a FritzBox, you must first make the following settings in the FritzBox menu:

1. In the FRITZ!Box user interface, click on `Heimnetz`.
2. `Heimnetz` Click in the menu `Netzwerk`.
3. Click on the tab `Netzwerkeinstellungen`.

In the Hostname exceptions `DNS-Rebind-Schutz section`, enter local.polydocs.io for which DNS rebind protection should not apply. Confirm with .`Übernehmen`

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.docbits.com/administration-and-setup/settings/document-processing/module/doc-scan.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
