Access Domain From Lan

Technical Support for Routers
1

Router: Flint2
Firmware: 4.6.2 release1

Hello, I have a domain example.com, I have changed the web UI to port 9030 and have port forwarded nginx to 80/443.

I can access nginx from the domain when outside my LAN (VPN/Mobile), but inside LAN I get "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE".

What is your goal? I can‘t really understand.

3

To be able to access my domain from LAN

4

And this isn't a real domain and only hosted internally?

5

It's a real domain, can access it when connected to a VPN or on mobile data, just not when connected to the router.

6

Guess you will need to provide more information.
What is the domain? Can you curl it directly from your router? Can you ping it? Where is the domain hosted?

7

I don't want to give the exact domain, but it's hosted on a server on my network (192.168.8.149). when using ping it returns the local IP, but curl gives gives '(52) Empty reply from server'

8

I would guess that your servers http server is the issue. Maybe it is not allowed to serve local clients?

9

ah, you know what, the issue was I didn't think to whitelist my lan subnet from my nginx geoblocking.

I'm sorry for wasting your time
