Hello i have been able to setup BBB and can access it from external using using a FQDN.
But when i try to access from inside my LAN i get Welcome to Nginx message instead. I would like to be able to access both Internal and external.

Here is my BBB config --check result

Hi Clint,

> But when i try to access from inside my LAN i get Welcome to Nginx message instead. I would like to be able to access both Internal and external.

You should be able to access it from your internal LAN using the FQDN (not the IP address).  Does it work if you use the FQDN?

Regards,... Fred

Check that the FQDN on your LAN resolves to the external IP address (not internal).
