      Hi,
      I guess I'm missing something very basic here.
      I have a webservice, in https, that I can access when I'm OUTSIDE my network. no problems, everything works

      Now, when I'm connected from my lan, nothing happens. do I need to create a specific NAT rule / exclusion nat rule ? (I need this for SSL resolution certificates btw , which again works fine from the outside)
      thx !

        If you are using an internal DNS add a host override to it for your public host name, pointing to the internal IP.

          @viragomann Thanks a lot, it works for FQDN
          Now, I have 2 host remaining with direct IP and special port. any suggestion ?

            Different ports don’t work with DNS naturally.
            You will have to use NAT reflection for this. You can activate it in the respective NAT rule.
            Try pure NAT mode first, if it’s not succeeding take the proxy mode.

            When using NAT reflection you have to remove the host override for the concerned FQDN.
