I’ve got a dynamic dns that points to my public IP address, eg: mydns.net
I also have a webserver (hosted in my NAT) with a registered domain name, eg: www.mywebsite.com
when I write both of these names in the browser address bar, I get redirected to the webfig page.
eg:
if I write www.mywebsite.com I want to view my website, not the router page. since this has never been an issue with home routers (netgears and such) I guess I need to add some special rule, what am I missing here?
thanks
I imagine your setup works when you connect from outside your home? (if you’ve done the port forwarding already)
You will need a hairpin NAT for internal clients to connect to the internal website. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Hairpin_NAT
An alternative solution is to override DNS. If your PCs behind the Mikrtoik are using the Mikrotik’s LAN IP for DNS, then you can go to IP > DNS and add static entries that resolve your domains to the private IP of the webserver. The static DNS entries are very basic. You’ll have to enter yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com.
Excellent explanation.
Leaving a bit of the NAT subject.
I suggest access control to services / IP services
