Accessing External Port Internally?
-
Unsure if this is related to PFSense or not, but figured I'd start at my firewall to figure it out. I'm currently running Blue Iris locally for all my camera's, i have port 81 externally forwarded by PFsense to the Blue Iris Server on my network. I'm able to access access it externally by going to mydomain.com:81 and locally by going to 192.168.1.x:81. Even though the Blue iris app takes care of this the app is junk and I'm just going to rely on using my browser to view the cameras. I was hoping to be able to only use mydomain.com:81 and not have to worry about using the correct URL if I'm on/off my network. I tried to setup a rule to allow using "mydomain.com:81" when connected to my network but i was unsuccessful. Is this PFSense blocking using the external address on the LAN? When I had other camera software i was able to do exactly just that, but that was prior to having PF deployed.
TLDR: Trying to use "mydomain.com:81" on LAN, unsure if PFSense is blocking it.

Split DNS is the preferred solution here but NAT reflection will also work:
