      Personal.

      I have a doubt.

      I need to access a service through my company's external IP, but I'm inside the company.

      For this to work I have to enable Pure Nat in :
      System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT, correct?

      I enable and it doesn't work.

      Any, tip?

        Do you need to access the IP? No way use a host name plus host overrides inside your network?

        If server and clients are within the same network segment you may need the proxy mode.

          @rafamello You can do this one of two ways - NAT Reflection or Split DNS.

            Technically, that setting applies to ALL rules. If you only want reflection on some rules, you can leave the above disabled and on that one NAT rule change "NAT reflection" from "system default" to one of the Enable options.

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
