Hi,

I've firewall with public ip, and webserver on private ip, i've map post 80 for from outside for my webserver, but when i try to access my website from local network it treat it as local which rule i'll have to define in firewall to finish this loop ??


Regards
Asim.

Please give me the INTERFACES and IP's so that I can write the rule exactly for you.

Thanks for your replay.

Actually i've a linux firewall with public ip, and my webserver is running on private ip so to access my webserver from outside i've inserted rule for port forwarding in linux iptables, so when it is ok when any query comes from internet of 80 for my webserver but if i try to access my site from my firewall machine it does not forward it to my webserver and consider it as local query.

Naa it won't work as it open port 80 for loopback only

@asim.mcp can you paste your existing iptables rules?

But nix about your solution, will it open the port for the Loop Back ? as the problem he is facing as I understood is from the loop back !!!

What do u say?

I'm assuming that loopback (lo) has unlimited access to all ports so above rule should work out
