Hi,

Is it possible to manage NAT loopback on this appliance?

I have a server in my network, but when I’m on the same network, the link redirecting to my server doesn’t work.

Do you have any solutions for this issue?

 Hi @Rain365,

Archer AX55 supports NAT loopback.

For your issue, please try the following suggestions:

  • Check Router Settings:

    • NAT Loopback Support: Log into your router's settings and check if NAT loopback is supported and enabled. Look for terms like "NAT reflection" or "hairpinning."
  • Use Local IP Address:

    • Instead of using the public IP or domain name, use the server's local IP address (e.g., http://192.168.x.x). This bypasses the need for NAT loopback entirely.
  • Update DNS Records:

    • If you're using a domain name, you can create a DNS record that points to the local IP address of the server when accessed from within the network. This method eliminates the need for NAT loopback.
  • Router Firmware Update:

    • Ensure your router's firmware is up to date, as newer firmware may offer better NAT loopback support or configuration options.
  • Firewall Settings:

    • Check the firewall settings on both the server and the router to ensure that traffic is not being blocked.
  • Port Forwarding:

    • If NAT loopback is not available, you can set up port forwarding rules that allow connections to the server from the public IP address to the local IP address.
  • Test Connectivity:

    • Use tools like ping or traceroute from a device on the same network to the public IP and local IP to confirm connectivity.

 

If the issue persists, please take screenshots with error message and NAT loopback settings.
