Accessing External IP Inside LAN (NAT Loopback)

[ERIC8585]

Yeah my Network Attached Storage device is wired and I cannot connect to it with my external IP via other wired devices. But I can connect to it through wireless devices. Must be a software bug in Gargoyle like you said.

I guess my point is, why would you connect to it through the public ip address at all? You end up basically routing a bunch of traffic and tracking connections that instead should have never left the switch.

I have apps configured to use the external IP because I upload things to the NAS when I'm outside my network. It's just a pain to reconfigure.
