Hi all,

I tried to setup a site that provides X-Ipfs-Path and has a DNSLink and I was hoping that users with the companion would be redirected to their local gateway, but that is not working.

Since I am a new user on this forum, I am limited to max 2 urls in a post, so I cannot give all the details here. Please see them here [https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/issues/953](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/issues/953) and let me know if I am missing something in my setup or if that is really a bug.

thanks

I have bumped your trust level so you should be able to post links.

Also, anyone see link above for resolution (bug in Companion).
