Access internal IP using public IP

Region : Argentina

Model : TL-WDR4300

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


I have a domain www.makkink.eu with my ISP with a fixed IP address (212.84.x.x), and I have a web server in my internal network (192.168.1.155).

I set up the TP-Link Arcger C9 router to forward requests to port 80 to my web server, so, if I access 212.84.x.x from outside my network, it shows my web page, the same happens if I access 192.168.1.155 from a computer inside my network.

Now, the problem is when I try to access 212.84.x.x from my internal network, the browser tries to connect and there is no redirecting of my request to my Web server.

Which settings do I have to change in the router to set up this redirection? Is there a way to set some kind of 'hosts' directive redirecting my domain?

NAT Boost is enabled, right?
There is a beta firmware to solve the loopback issue. You can contact TP-LINK people to ask for it. Good luck.

I am not sure what the moderator did to my original post.
The Netherlands is region Western-Europe and I am having issues with a brandnew TP-Link Archer C9 V1 firmware 3.15.27 Build 20141013 Rel.53520n
@Vivian indicates that NAT boost might be part of the problem so I will test the router with this option switched off. And I will raise a ticket asking for the firmware to solve the 'loopback issue'.

Did not expect disabling the NAT Boost would solve the 'loop back' issue, BUT IT DID!
I have posted a ticket with TP-LINK but as yet no reaction. Anyway, I am not sure how NAT Boost works and wether I would be able to notice the difference. So I don't care to much about a firmware update.
