I have a security camera app on my phone with all of the (internal IP) camera addresses set to DDNS (external) address and router port forwarding to bring individual external port requests to the correct internal camera IP's. This works fine. But when I'm inside my network I'd like the same external address to get redirected to the (same port) internal IP so that I can see the cameras just as if I were external. I had this working with K2.6 build then updated to K3.x build and now it does not work. I've compared all of the settings from before to after and they are the same. Any suggestions appreciated. thanks.

Very interesting. I checked off the Filter WAN NAT Redirection, then rebooted. I was watching my phone for the cameras as the router rebooted. And bingo, the cameras were visible....for a few seconds. Then the redirection stopped. Seems like you are right that there is some conflict making it not work after a few seconds after reboot.
OK, thanks for your help. I appreciate your time and help.
I probably won't bring up this issue as surely others who know more of what they are talking about are already aware of it. They don't need newbies like me clogging up their email.
There is a work around where I can "add" in duplicate cameras on my phone only with internal IP addresses which don't require a redirect.
