For security reasons, GN is isolated from the main network. Has no access.
Hi FURRYe38 ,
I get the GN is isolated from MN from accessing internal resources. This isn't exactly the case here as the webserver is open to anyone from any external network. If it was the same network (device connected to the MN trying to access the webserver using the external IP) that doesn't work than I would think it's because of lack of support of NAT loopback but it does work.
Orbi setup: External home IP -> Orbi -> port forward 80 and 443 to -> web server
Device inside the orbi network (connect to the main wifi) -> accessing the external IP -> returns the web page
Device inside the orbi network (connect to the guest wifi) -> accessing the external IP -> port can't be reached
