Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/111

I'm a total Nginx / reverse proxy n00b.
But I was able to install this and create a proxy host. So now my internal application (Home Assistant) running on HTTP and port 8123 is reachable from the WAN on my HTTPS DuckDNS domain name without adding port 8123. Great!

On my Android phone, I created a shortcut for accessing Home Assistant using my HTTPS DuckDNS address. On 4g this works great. But when I'm on my own LAN it doesn't.
Is there I way to let Nginx "redirect" the clients to my local HTTP address they try to accessing my HTTPS DuckDNS address when they are on the same LAN?

Apparently, I did make a DNS entry in my router in the past. I deleted it and now I can just browse to my DuckDNS HTTPS domain to access my local HTTP Home Assistant instance.
