Issue
I am trying to use my tinyproxy server through an open router port.
- On the local network connecting using the machine's local IP, the proxy works completely fine.
- Using the public IP, the proxy does not connect at all. Opening it in the browser causes it to load forever, and there is no connections logged anywhere.
