Hi Vora, you server is resolving the site's name to your external address because of the dns server it is using. That's why adding the allow for you external address worked. You might want to modify the hosts file and add your sites name and the server internal address, that way the site isn't resolving to the external address and causing you to run into the block. In order for the average person to hit this site from your external address they would have to come from inside of your network. That is basically the only place packets can originate from with your external ip address on it. (unless spoofed) Leaving your external address in the allow list is a reasonably cautious practice. But if I were you I'd rather update my hosts file and remove the external address from the allow list.
Hope this helps...
