accessing a web server from the LAN and WAN
- by jessh
My router does not support loopback. In order to view a webpage on my server, I either have to type in the local ip (192.168.1.201), or be on another network. What are my options for making this easier?
Here are some possible things:
Route all web traffic through an external proxy (seems to be overkill)
Run my own DNS server (where to start?!)
Buy a new router that supports loopback.
Surely there is another way that I can use my laptop on the LAN and the WAN by typing in my domain more easily than these solutions.
