<![CDATA[My domain is accessible from external networks but not from my internal network. Might anyone know why?]]>Hi, folks! I was happy to finally get my domain set up and directing traffic to a couple of hosted services. Unfortunately, my domain only works from external networks and not my own. I can ping my domain from my internal network just fine, and I can see a response time of 0.12ms against my public facing IP address, but putting the URL into my web browser to hit my web apps just times out. If I run the test on my phone, same thing; however, if I disconnect from wi-fi and do the same thing over cell network, the page works as I'd expect. My friends are able to access my hosted services via URL as I'd expect.

Given that I can ping the address and it resolves to an IP, I'm guessing this isn't a DNS issue. My OPNsense setup is that I've got my 192.168.1.X VLAN and my hosted services are isolated on the 192.168.10.X VLAN. The 1 VLAN can reach 10, but 10 can't reach 1. I can still use my hosted services via IP address and port, but I'd rather just use the URL and hit my reverse proxy so that I don't have to change the server address while navigating in and out of my apartment on my phone.

I've got two goals here in resolving this problem.

  1. I'd like to understand why it won't resolve my URL on my local network and fix it. This is mostly just a learning experience thing given goal #2.
  2. After that's working, I'd like to set up local DNS so that calls to reach my reverse proxy will never leave my home network, because I want to have access to my full bandwidth without running into my ISP's bandwidth limits. After this is setup, I'm curious how I would verify that my call to the server is not leaving my apartment.

I'd appreciate any help you folks can offer!
