Wrong IP address

I have a GoPRO camera HERO11 Black. I am trying to start live stream in a restricted network with the limited access to the internet. I noticed, that camera sends request to api.gopro.com before starting stream to check the internet connection. So, I added it to my DNS server, but camera uses another ip address instead of it. Here is my tcpdump:

10 Aug 27, 2024 12:04:48.112902000 CEST 7.385854 10.10.10.59 10.10.10.1 DNS 73 Standard query 0x734e A api.gopro.com
11 Aug 27, 2024 12:04:48.113806000 CEST 7.386758 10.10.10.1 10.10.10.59 DNS 89 Standard query response 0x734e A api.gopro.com A 10.0.6.30
12 Aug 27, 2024 12:04:48.125266000 CEST 7.398218 10.10.10.59 10.0.0.0 TCP 74 42396 → 80 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=64240 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=2602477525 TSecr=0 WS=32

So you can see, that DNS server replies with 10.0.6.30, but the camera uses 10.0.0.0.

Do you know why?

Hello. There is a new feature coming in an upcoming Hero 13 firmware update that will allow you to connect a network without internet access which should solve your problems here.

I'll leave this open until that feature is released.

@tcamise-gpsw do you plan to make this firmware for HERO 11 and 12?

Currently the answer is no. But if there are future H11 / H12 firmware updates it is likely that this will be included.
