31.0.x/dev build: rov.openrov.net does not work when connected via router

[spiderkeys]

When connected to the robot with a router acting as a DHCP server inbetween, you have to use https://[IP address] to connect to cockpit

Known limitation that won't be fixed for the current release. Will leave this issue open until we finally close the loop.

There are a couple work arounds:

1. Find the IP assigned by the router, then add it to the hosts file of your machine

<ip address> rov.openrov.net

You should now be able to connect to the rov. Be sure to comment the line in the host out again when directly connecting to the rov.

2. You can connect to the ROV by IP address directly https://<ip-address>

Note, any video or telemetry recordings are stored under the url used to connect to the ROV, so if you did a dive using rov.openrov.net, and then connected using the , you would not see the recordings.
