    Dear Team,
    Public ipv4 : 128.199.117.134
    VM in private IP : 1.1.12.1
    VM in private IP trying to access public ipv4 : 1.1.22.1
    NAT : Source - any, Destination - 128.199.117.134 port 80 redirect IP : 1.1.12.1 port 80
    there is no issue to access 128.199.117.134:80 from the public network. However any VM in the private network is not able to access 128.199.117.134:80.
    Error is 404 Nginx.
    any advise?
    Thank you

      @uglyxiaodi18 said in private network VM Unable to access public IP address:

      VM in private IP : 1.1.12.1
      VM in private IP trying to access public ipv4 : 1.1.22.1

      None of these IPs is private at all.

      However any VM in the private network is not able to access 128.199.117.134:80

      If you want to access server, which the public IP is forwarded to, enable NAT reflection in the NAT rule.

      By default the NAT rule is only applied to the stated interface. NAT reflection applies it to the other interfaces as well.
