How to access internal servers from internet network using external address?

ArtL

I have a server on the LAN that needs to be accessible not just from the outside but also on the inside using an external FQDN address and port.  I have a business rule that translates "WAN->LAN Server" port 8443 to 443.  From outside going to www.domain.com:8443 works, but doing the same from the internal network fails.  Any ideas how to accomplish this?

    Hi Art L,

    To achieve this functionality you have to create one business application rule with source zone as LAN and destination zone as LAN with "Masquerading" enable.

    Hello,

     

    Is this a firewall rule under add business application rule or web add policy?

    Looks like in the manual page 410  under web is the policies and rules.

    I am under web, policies and click add Policy and what pops up does not look like the place to be.

    Under firewall pressing add firewall rule and selecting business application rule, under application templates there is not rule listed source zone as LAN and destination zone as LAN with "Masquerading" enable.  Clicking on user/network rule, that looks to be the area to be in to create the rule you noted. 

    I have been a UTM user since Astaro v7 through the current UTM9. My physical UTM computer died about 6 weeks ago and I decided to just build a XG unit and I am running virtually on ESXi 5.5, and there is a big learning curve going from UTM to XG and then trying to navigate where to go to make the settings.

    The user forums do a great job at helping and telling you what you need to set or do, but sometimes the more fluent and advanced XG users sometimes forget some of us are just learning, myself being one of them. The manual is useful but also at times confusing. I printed out the ver. 16 manual, 600 plus pages of light reading. Just a thought for us new users, if when possible, it is nice to have a pointer of under what section to go to such as web or firewall and then what sub section to create or edit from there. As I become more skilled at XG, I will try to be more active in helping answer questions and hopefully be able to provide easy step by step instructions. Again thank you for that posting, since it is something I need to do for some of my things.
