Xenforo 2 Unfurling Error for local domain only

When using the "Test URL Unfurling" tool I get:

"Could not fetch metadata from URL with error: The URL is not requestable (local: 127.0.0.1)"

This only occurs with my own URLs, it works fine on external URLS. External sites, such as this one, can unfurl my URLs. But I cannot unfurl my own.

I recently switched to nginx and centminmod, 99% of everything else is working fine.

The conf is setup correctly for Xenforo 2 friendly URLs.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

I'm still pretty new to running my own VPS so forgive my ignorance.

I configured my site using the guides you've posted and didn't do too much customization, I basically followed the guide. I did 3-4 test runs of migrating the site, so I have about 4 weeks experience working with CMM. I am behind Cloudflare and LetsEncrypt is between my server and Cloudflare. Cloudflare authenticated origin pulls are enabled.

I removed my PTR record on Digital Ocean to stop it resolving the domain name from the IP. But Cloudflare does my DNS.

my hosts file:

Code:

127.0.0.1 MYDOMAIN.com MYDOMAIN
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 MYDOMAIN.com MYDOMAIN
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Thank you for your support.

 

omg I could kiss you right now! Problem solved. as I am still kinda new to this, are there any possible negative consequences to having done this?

also did I screw this up or is it default like that? My hosting account was suspended so I had to do an insanely rushed server migration and maybe I screwed it up

 

Thanks for your help!
