Forwarding port 80 to host on correct zone targets OpenWrt webui

So why bother having 2 distinct rules indead of the one I currently have?

• Rule one: allow WAN traffic to server
• Rule two: allow LAN traffic to server

@tiller

I can't wrap my head around this rule

Rationale for rule 2:

@lleachii

I make a rule that allows the traffic and places the packet in the SRC network . This changes the DST IP from the Public to the LAN, and allows the packet to travel using the zones regular routing rules.

@tiller

Is it really correct / the intended way to have the destination to LAN when the IP is 172.16.0.0/24?

Instead of a firewall rule - the other option is to create an internal DNS hostname for the server instead:

# in /etc/config/dhcp

config domain
        option ip '172.16.0.101'
        option name 'foo.example.com' #<---this would be the Global FQDN of the server
