NAT loopback no longer working? was created by piste basher
Is it just me or is NAT loopback no longer working on the 2860 with the latest firmwares?
I can no longer access my IP cameras from within the LAN; worked fine before but I'm not sure at which firmware upgrade it stopped working. I've tried 3.8.4.4 and 3.8.4.5, reluctant to go back further what with all the re-boots....

I have 2860AC firmware 3.4.4.8_BT. Four cameras and I can still access for example 19.168.0.26. I have disabled the wifi, all cameras are wired connection.
For routine access, mobile devices access is through AP900 and AP910
Main access to the cameras is through BlueIris. External access (BlueIris app) to camera, goes through stunnel for encrypted connection.
Also have Draytek VPN app installed on iPhone. BlueIris remote app successfully connecting through VPN and Stunnel

Sorry, but it looks as though you are accessing the cameras via a LAN address? I can do that - what I can no longer do is access their external WAN addresses from inside the LAN.

I have Applications >> LAN DNS / DNS Forwarding setup to workshop.myip.co.uk 192.168.0.25.
Sorry for misunderstanding the question, you are correct I only use internal ip address, even when accessing from the wan, via the VPN connection.
Sorry

FWIW - I have a 2860n running 3.8.4.5BT and can still access Web, DNS & SMTP services from the LAN using the WAN IP address. These are the ports defined using "NAT | Open Ports ". (I don't use "Port Redirection " or "DMZ Host ").
Are you sure your IP cameras are still accessible via the Internet?

Yes, I can access them via my phone on 3G/4G.
I have mine defined using NAT - open ports as well.
If I use the "Route Policy - Diagnose" feature it tells me that packets for my cameras are apparently being sent out via WAN2 - "The packet was sent via WAN2 according to the Static route "x.x.x.x/255.255.255.255 WAN2"
This is weird as WAN2 is my failback wifi router connection and I have no static routes of any kind set up as far as I know.
Very odd.
