Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost

[wayne.workman]

Hi,

New to nodeBB.
nodeBB version: 1.11.2
OS: Debian 9
Reverse proxy: Nginx

So inside of config.json for nodeBB, I've changed the url to the IP address of the box. This fixed me acccessing the box on my local LAN using it's private IP address. But in testing when I opened it up to the internet with port forwarding on my router, I get the error "Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost" when I visit the forum.

What I'm trying to accomplish is have all the traffic go through nginx, and nginx make the local request to nodeBB.

Ideas? Not sure what's wrong here.

I figured it out, soon as I put the FQDN into config.json, the FQDN address started working and the local IP stopped. Good enough for me.
