access port forward web sever from internal lan

[JodyTek]

Hi All,

New to opnsense and having a time figuring out how to access my web server internally on network. Here is my setup in a nutshell.

I am running latest stable opnsense. I have created port forward for both port 80 and 443 that redirects to local ip of my web server. I am using google dynamic dns to point my domain name to my public IP. This all works just fine and I can access the webserver from outside of my local network.

The problem is that I cannot access the web server using the fqdn on my internal network. I want to be able to access my web server by the same address in our our of my local network.

I have looked at the reflection / nat settings under: Firewall -> Settings -> Advanced.

When I check mark the boxes for  (Reflection for 1:1) and (Sticky outbound NAT), I can access the web server locally as well as externally, but it is extremely slow. Like 30 plus seconds for a login that typically is milliseconds to respond.

It looks to me like a latency issue, but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

If you're using unbound as dns resolver for your internal lan, you could add an override for your ddns domain pointing to the local ip of your server.
