I'm not sure if that's Rancher on purpose or not? I remember back when I was doing Windows support QuickTime used to install the Bonjour garbage and make it a Windows service. See https://www.howtogeek.com/338914/what-is-mdnsresponder-and-why-is-it-running-on-my-mac/ & https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/mDNSResponder perhaps?

Well, I tried to disable mdnsresponder by command:

defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist NoMulticastAdvertisements -bool true

and after computer reboot verified that service is off, here is output

NoMulticastAdvertisements = 1;

, but for some reason, mdnsresponder is still coming back whenever Rancher is running....

Considering https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/mDNSResponder/blob/main/LICENSE maybe the RD folks decided to use it on Mac (or even all three platforms)? With it running does it let you lookup pods?

@rough-farmer-49135, Hard to say because it's impossible to kill process by PID. It's going back instantly 😕 Thanks! I will forward my question to the rancher-desktop channel 🙂
