    Interesting, maybe they check whether it’s a domain/remote IP on the client side to prevent usage of a reverse proxy.

      I checked the logs and it said it was assuming a remote connection because there was an unknown hostname in the headers (I forget the exact wording). It was because the hostname I was using didn’t match the hostname configured in the server’s OS (one I set up on my local DNS server).
