      Hello,
      I have a server that is publicly accessible with an FQDN. This FQDN points to one of my Public IP's on the FW. The FW then port forwards the http/https into the private IP. When I am in my LAN, I am unable to connect to the FQDN. Is there a way to tell PFSense to route the traffic intended for that FQDN to go to the internal IP when I am local? PFSense is also my internal DNS server.

        @mrjoli021 Look up Nat Reflection.
        It's in System/Advanced/Firewall & NAT

          no don't look up nat reflection

          setup split-dns whenever possible:
