NAT Loopback
Some routers do not support accessing devices in local network by their external router IP address (NAT Loopback). More details here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairpinning
Install Pi-Hole app on Syncloud device and make it your primary DNS Server on your router.
Then under Pi-Hole -> Local DNS -> DNS Records
add an override per app you use, for example:
nextcloud.me.syncloud.it -> 192.168.1.101
Where me.syncloud.it
is your domain name and 192.168.1.101
is your local network IP address of your device.
You may need to buy a better router with this feature.
You may check your router here: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers
Or by googling: [your router name and model] nat loopback
Sometimes you may want to put your new router with NAT Loopback feature in front of your provider's router when you cannot just replace it. In this case you need to put provider's router into a bridge mode first and then your internal router will be able to get a public IP.

You may workaround this problem by adding hosts records on each PC:
Some routers do not support accessing internal LAN devices by its public router IP address and a port mapping from inside the local network.
