Nexcloud internal access behind VPN

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have AirVPN running as OpenVPN on a Asus RT-AC68P where all my client connect to. Port forwarding and everything works great. I have unRAID running on a home server connected to this router behind the VPN that is running the lastest version on Nextcloud. I am easily able to access my Nextcloud outside the home, remotely, via the AirVPN port forward airdns system. I want to be able to access my Nextcloud server via a single address whether it is remotely (where I use the airdns port forwarder) or in house on the same WiFi network. Clearly if I'm at within the network then the Airdns port forwarder will not work. I know I can just use the local address at home to access but it would be nice not to have to keep switching server addresses. Is there a way to do this? Do I need to get a webhost name and have that forward to the static IP? 

 

Thank you!

Did you try DDNS?

Yes but does not work internally when at home under the same vpn connection. i wonder how other people use owncloud or nextcloud server behind a vpn at home by using a single address?

In the past I used ddns (noip) to configure my owncloud. I can access it at home or at work, although when I'm at home I will be considered accessing from 'outside' because I use vpn's IP address.

 

this is the setup I used, nextcloud.ddns.net:12345 and it will redirect me to nextcloud.ddns.net:12345/owncloud or nextcloud stuff.
