Fixes #228
Microsoft removed
wmicfrom Windows 11 24H2+, causingreact/dnsto crash when detecting DNS servers. This keeps wmic as the primary method on Windows, with PowerShell as a fallback for newer systems.This way around, because wmic is still a tad faster than the PowerShell execution. 🐌
The PowerShell fallback also filters out deprecated
fec0::site-local IPv6 addresses that Windows returns for interfaces without explicit DNS - these don't actually resolve anything and would cause timeouts. (Windows. Wow.)Updated tests accordingly.
I also tested this in a dev version of our tool expose, worked as expected on Windows VM & real machine :)
It would be nice if this fix could be backported to 1.x so
react/socketcan get the update released as well, since this still usesreact/dnsin the older version afaik.
