Hello Selfhosted!

So I have an interesting issue. I have a docker host, and that host i have a Caddy container. I have that setup to handle reverse proxying. I have it setup to be local only. I have a pihole and a wireguard server. And can connect to my network successfully.

The part that confuses me is that while on network everything works great. While on VPN I can connect to services by IP:Port. If I use mobile data with VPN, I can’t use the site addresses. x.domain.xxx (for privacy sake I’m leaving my domain out of the post.) But when I connect to WiFi, any WiFi, and connect to VPN I can go to the address I have setup for reverse proxying.

I am unsure how to troubleshoot this. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    So, I of course rebooted everything i could, the box hosting my DNS/PiHole, VPN, docker box, etc. However, was remote and couldn’t reboot my modem.

    I lowered my MTU on my VPN client config after rebooting my modem, and it’s working.

    I don’t fully understand why it worked, but it did.

    Maybe something on my ISPs end that wasn’t functioning.

      It’s probably still IPv6 related. If you use something like Network Analyzer on your phone while only connected to the mobile network you may find that it only shows an IPv6 address and DNS server, no IPv4 config. That could explain the difference. Particularly if you were using the maximum typically permissible MTU. Your provider might also be doing some 6to4 tunneling somewhere that adds overhead and causes size problems.
