PR60X Managing hosts file
Hello, for some reasons i would need to update the hosts file of the touteur ( cannot access lan website using names and ssl with wireguard since i left cloudflare for a cheaper solution ).
But since we cannot access it with ssh nor telnet.
Is it possible to make a option for updating the hosts file directly from the web interface ?
Or is it absolutly not possible ?

And then https://kb.netgear.com/000066031/How-do-I-enable-NAT-loopback-on-my-PR60X-or-PR460X
Well kinda strange but it works after i moved the web server port from the mx510txp to one of the pr60x port.

Re: PR60X Managing hosts file
And without the loopback i had lost insight mangement too. I just realised when the blue light came back after switch the port.
Anyway would be so much easier to be able to update hosts from web interface.

Re: PR60X Managing hosts file
Well i was wrong it solved one part of the problem as accessing local somme application using port 443 on server pinpointing to wan adress.
But since i used ip filtering to access toses server it doesnt work when i tried to access them using vpn I tried ipsec,openvpn and wireguard but none can access those url.

Re: PR60X Managing hosts file
Hi Jimbo, Could you please let us know exact issues so that we can try to reproduce the issue and see if we can have workaround, for examples:
LAN (or WAN) has issue to access LAN (or WAN) using IP (or DDNS Domain name) through VPN (or not) - If there is issue, what is the symptom? Thanks.

Re: PR60X Managing hosts file
IT small structure is behind the pr60x.
But i am only using wan2 port 5 reconfigured and port 10g is connected to a ms510xtup.
Wan1 is connected to the 4g backup my isp provided and is rarely used.
Services are hosted at office.
Vpns have access to all vlans.
This is for the short config.
When i was using cloudflare as a proxy everything worked fine. Sometimes with some headache with cloudflare tunnels.
Than i decided to host again everyrhing
at office.
Than i encountered this problem.
I can access everithing using ip with vpn.
But from wan to lan the domain name doest resolv with the vpn.
The trick to use another port on the prx60 for the servers worked to acess domain name from lan again.
But it didnt to acess the domain name with the vpns.
Nat hairpin trick with physical port change for lan loopback isnt enough to make it work.
And i have no idea how to fix this.

Re: PR60X Managing hosts file
But i wan to acess it using vpn connected to the phones.
Yet my workaround is to access it using auth method throught https with a nginx proxie to redirect.
I can also use the vpn and access ressources with ip.
But i would prefer to acess it with the vpn using https with domain name.
Yea i know its absolutly overkilll and useless.
I dont want to start modify Android or Apple config file just for that.

Re: PR60X Managing hosts file
Than forced the router to use it to enjoy the loopback ability of the router.
It works fine using this setup but still not while using the vpn.
Only solution yet is to use cloudflare dns proxies to acess those domain with the vpn.
Well i'm not trying anymore to make the vpn work to access my domainname using my sertigo ssl on my services localy hosted.
