    Doing a test you might be able to get NAT loopback work if your WAN IP is static all you have to do is make another NAT rule with the same setting and put in your real External WAN IP even if it not on the ATP interface.

    I have tested it and it does not work. When putting the private ip it does not open ports.
    This is how to configure it from the beginning.

    You make one rule with private ip 172.26.10.245 for External IP you then make another rule for the same port with External IP being your real WAN IP. So that for LAN you go to your domain which will be your WAN IP and the ATP should loopback

    Hi @ticsystems,

    You can try to add an internal DNS A record (e.g. www.xxx.com 172.26.10.245) in ATP700, and LAN side hosts DNS server set to ATP-700. Once LAN hosts access to www.xxx.com, it will not go ISP router.

    I have a active directory server. I will look at configuring it on the Windows DNS server. Thanks!!!

    Hi all. It is not a viable option. Behind the domain xxx.com they have a lot of external services and it should generate a lot of A records. I need natloopback to work.

    The way I said will work you need a LAN to LAN firewall rule for it to work.
