[26.1] NAT reflection not working

[maarten90]

Hi everyone,

i'm on 26.1.8 currently and I migrated my rules to the new rules feature. However it seems that NAT reflection has stopped working since then. Port forwarded services can be accessed from the internet just fine, but not from the local network. The three boxes on the "Firewall > Advanced" are ticked. But even after re-applying the configuration by clicking the apply button, it won't work. Any tips on where I should look to make this work again? Thanks!

If possible you should avoid Reverse NAT a.k.a. NAT Loopback anyway, so maybe a good moment to consider moving away from it ?!

You're right. Time to implement split DNS I guess. Thanks for motivating me to finally do it :D

Or use a proxy instead of destination NAT. E.g. Caddy listening on the WAN interface can be used from internal networks just like from the Internet with just the public IP address in DNS.
