So maybe I am missing something obvious, but here goes:

I've got a small server at home, and I have simply.com pointing various domains to it. Works fine, nginx routs the traffic where it needs to go.

But whenever I am at home and connected to wifi I have to use the internal address and port to reach my server, e.g. 192.168.0.192:8096 for my Jellyfin server. If I use the public URL at home, i hit the login page to my router.

This is annoying when I use apps, as I need to switch between the public URL and the internal address as I come and go from my home...

What are my options for doing something about this? I want to use the public URL at home too....

Thanks - I have an icotera i4850 router which claims to support NAT loopback, but I can't figure out where to do it and it seems like the manual is gone from the internet :) Might have to ask my internet provider if they have a PDF somewhere.

Edit: D'oh, it's a checkbox in the port forwarding interface! Thanks a bunch, didn't know what to look for before your reply :)
