Having said that, ALL of my clients, local and external, always use my external address and I let my router and Nginx handle the connections. I verified that my local clients never leave my LAN.
YOU did it again!
Because I was not sure if the traffic gets routed via the internet I checked the WAN traffic in openWRT before posting here and outbound traffic clearly showed that my jellyfin traffic gets routed externally.
Your post made me think though and so I disabled the cloudflare proxy for that subdomain. Now all traffic for my TV stays locally when using the external domain AND syncplay works!!
... for now ^^
I would have preferred keeping the proxy but I guess I can live with that.
Again, thank you so much for your help!
Oh and btw. NAT loopback is still a setting in openWRT when setting up a port forward (under advanced) but it is enabled by default.
