Hi all,
I currently have a raspberry pi hooked up to my external drive which holds all of my media. I set up an ftp server and forwarded the correct port in my router.
All is well and I can perfectly access my external drive from anywhere in the world using my external ip adress. Here comes the question:
If I am connected to the local network in which the FTP server is located, but I access it through the external IP (instead of the local ip address), will it use up any of my limited monthly internet bandwidth (100 GB)?
Or should the router be smart enough to route all traffic locally, not affecting my monthly bandwidth?
Very curious for the answer!
