Hi
Behind Fortigate I have a web server. The domain is redirected to IP Fortigate. From the external network it's ok. However, from the internal network, after entering the domain, the page does not display "This site is unreachable". Thank you for any suggestions

The current issue seems to be a hair-pin nat, It is a symptom of not being able to connect from the inside to the external IP on internal network. Below link is useful for resolving this issue.

    Does a solution like this allow an employee behind a FortiGate with a publically hosted web server to access their company website even though the Windows Server domain and the website domain name are the same?
