Why all *.dev domains target to my localhost?

When you type *.dev domains, for example juas.dev it points to localhost, someone know why ?

(My hosts are not modified, and the request dont go outside)

What DNS provider do you use? It could be that you set up some sort-of DNS modification such as http://clintberry.com/2011/wildcard-sub-domains-on-osx-web-d...

No, I trace the route and the request never get out of my computer. It's always local and my hosts are not modified

Did you tried it too?

Have you ever installed pow from pow.cx?

Nope. I tried this on Windows and Linux with the same result.

nslookup -d2 <hostname> and dig +trace <hostname> are your friend.
