  • Imagine every day I ask you what the color of the sky is. There are a bunch of forum threads that tell me the sky color, there is a wiki with sky color information, and the search can give me the sky colour. I have all the information I need to work out the sky color, but I still keep asking you.

    That is what these communities often deal with, it grinds you down and gives you have a short fuse.

  • Devices on your domain will typically do a DNS lookup, which gets your public IP. Then they connect to that public IP, which your router recognises and redirects back into your network. The router then forwards that to your reverse proxy.

    If your router isnt doing that properly (timing out usually), look up a setting usually called “NAT loopback” or “NAT hairpinning”. Thats the setting that detects your public IP, and redirects it back inward.
