      You use the file protocol, of course.

        @sgunhouse I want to use http, the problem is that opera does not recognize the .local as a valid internet domains and instead of going to the address I type, it goes to duckduckgo

          Oh, is that what you mean? Are you actually running a local web server?

              An extension wouldn't matter, you mean TLD though (like .com or .org) and that is where Opera is having trouble with it.

                  Not being a web developer myself, may I ask what filetype are those .local ones? If it is like .url, there may be a solution.

                      How does file identify a .local file? For a .url, file says
                      $ file sergeistrelec.ru.URL
                      sergeistrelec.ru.URL: MS Windows 95 Internet shortcut text (URL=<http://sergeistrelec.ru/>), ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

                        The .local is a domain.
