Home Assistant Pi-Hole HTTP Address DNSmasq

Configuration
1

Hi,
I’m running into an issue with HASSIO, Duckdns, Letsencrypt and Pi-Hole.
I am trying to be able to access my HA instance with the same http address while inside my home network, as well as when connected to another network.
I have Hass.io 0.54 installed on a RPi 3 with Let’s Encrypt, and DuckDNS.
Unfortunately, my router does not support NAT Hairpining (AKA NAT Loopback).
So, to get around this, I installed Pi-Hole on a spare Raspberry Pi Zero W I had laying around because it hs DNSmasq natively incorporated. Pretty awesome program.
So, I added my duckdns.org domain to the pi-hole host record but when trying to access my HA UI, within my network, I must include :8123 after the domain. Outside of my network, I must remove the :8123.
Is there any way for me to access my HA instance from within my network and outside of it with the exact same URL?
Did I make a mistake when adding to my host record?
I added the following:

pihole -a hostrecord https://mydomain.duckdns.org https://192.168.1.40:8123

Thanks for any help!

A bit late but I had the same issue and solved it by forwarding 8123 external to 8123 internal, so I always use :8123 when accessing ha. Also remember to put it in your baseurl

Thanks for the response. I ended up getting a Unifi USG, switch and UAP to get around the NAT Loopback.
