Hi all!
I am running home assistant with the add-on Nginx Proxy Manager.
Using this add-on I want to achieve that I can access my home assistant instance using my own domain using ssl.
I don’t get it working when I am accessing the url on my local network, the page is not loading and according to the logs it looks like I don’t reach the instance at all.
Via the local IPV4 address + port number, I am able to access it.
When I access the url from outside my home network (using Wireguard) it does work as well.
Configuration:
vpn.myexampledomain.com points to my public IPV4 address
homeassistant.myexampledomain.com points to my local ip address 192.168.178.41
VPN outside network: homeassistant.myexampledomain.com ![]()
VPN turned on while on local network: homeassistant.myexampledomain.com ![]()
No VPN while on local network: 192.168.178.41:8123 ![]()
No VPN while on local network: homeassistant.myexampledomain.com ![]()
I did some research and I have read about NAT loopback. I have checked this with my internet provider and this is enabled on my modem/router.
The modem does have IPV6 functionality as well but I did not configure IPV6 records to prevent confusion.
