So maybe I am missing something obvious, but here goes:
I’ve got a small server at home, and I have simply.com pointing various domains to it. Works fine, nginx routs the traffic where it needs to go.
But whenever I am at home and connected to wifi I have to use the internal address and port to reach my server, e.g. 192.168.0.192:8096 for my Jellyfin server. If I use the public URL at home, i hit the login page to my router.
This is annoying when I use apps, as I need to switch between the public URL and the internal address as I come and go from my home…
What are my options for doing something about this? I want to use the public URL at home too…
Based on my setup, I use adguard to DNS rewrite all *.example.com domains to the IP of my Nginx proxy.
I have the proxys setup on NPM.
On my router I have adguard set as the home network DNS.
Cloudflare is used as the external DNS so that the *.example.com domains work outside of my network (and point to thr Nginx server).

My setup is relatively basic, unraid dockers etc.
