Title: NAT Loopback?
Post by: chiller on October 04, 2008, 11:16:13 AM

Does the DIR-330 support (or plan to support) NAT Loopback (i.e. the ability to  access the external IP address from inside your network)?

I am able to access my router by typing in my DDNS name into IE if that is waht you mean.

When you say access the router, do you mean the webpage administration or services behind the router (i.e. ftp, http, etc.)? I can access the 330's administration page using the DDNS address, I cannot however access our ftp or http servers from behind the 330 using the DDNS address (which is absolutely critical).

I mean the router's configuration page.
I haven't tried accessing any services behind it in that way.

NAT loopback is not allowed on this device, a request has already been placed to allow NAT loopback in the future.  Unfortunately I can not say when or even if it would be implemented.

On a more personal note, I find lowering the firewall overhead by placing a DNS server with LAN side entries for your public facing services a good idea.  It also circumvents this issue nicely.
