Help! homeassistant.local will not load!

I’ve been having huge trouble with device trackers not updating on my Netgear Orbi, so I thought I’d experiment with using the app tracker. I activated my trial of Nabu Casa and all seems well.

However, now homeassistant.local will not load. I can get in using the remote link only. This also means my phone app that I actually use for everything won’t connect either, as this is configured for the local connection.

I disabled remote access to see if that would bring back local access, but it didn’t. I had to go in through my Nabu Casa account to restart remote.

Help! What’s gone wrong and how can I bring it back?
