Hi Sunrise team,
I’m experiencing a DNS resolution issue with the domain firebasestorage.googleapis.com when connected to Sunrise’s network. This domain is used by Firebase (Google Cloud), and the failure to resolve it is breaking development environments and applications that rely on Firebase Storage — for example, Next.js apps trying to fetch images from Firebase.

🔍 Problem:
When using Sunrise DNS, attempting to resolve firebasestorage.googleapis.com consistently returns an NXDOMAIN error, indicating the domain cannot be found.

🧪 Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to the internet via Sunrise (e.g., home Wi-Fi).
2. Run the following command in your terminal:
$$
dig firebasestorage.googleapis.com @212.98.37.130
$$
Expected: An IP address should be returned.
Actual:
$$
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN …
$$
3. Run the same command using Google’s public DNS:
$$
dig firebasestorage.googleapis.com @8.8.8.8
$$
Result:
$$
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR …
firebasestorage.googleapis.com. 300 IN A 172.217.168.10
$$

✅ Workaround:
• Switch your device’s DNS to a public resolver like:
• Google: 8.8.8.8
• Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1
or
• Connect to a non-Sunrise network (e.g., mobile hotspot, another ISP), where the domain resolves normally.

📌 Request:
Please investigate this issue with Sunrise’s DNS infrastructure. This domain is part of Google’s widely-used Firebase suite and should be resolvable under normal conditions. Let me know if more details are needed — happy to assist.
Thanks!
