RAX30 NAT Loopback
Can anyone tell me how to setup NAT Loopback on a RAX30 please?

Hello!
NAT loopback, or hairpin NAT, is typically enabled by default on the Netgear Nighthawk RAX30. This feature allows you to access a service on your local network using your public IP address. If you're having trouble, the problem isn't NAT loopback being disabled, but rather an issue with your port forwarding rules or the firewall on the device you are trying to reach. Double-check that your port forwarding is correctly configured and that your device's firewall isn't blocking the connection.

Thanks Sandra720Ben
I'd been trying to follow a tutorial, it said to check my NAT Loopback settings... Thanks for the info.
