Nat loopback stopped working, again!

Have been running my own Web server for private use for years. Moved to Vodafone 4 years ago and had issues initially which eventually were resolved.  Overnight the router restarted and this morning I'm unable to access my website from the Vodafone WiFi.  If I switch over to mobile Internet it works fine.  When I put in the domain name that should be my website, I get the router login page.  The issue is Nat Loopback, but there isn't a setting to enable this on the router, so it's being switched on and off by firmware updates.  Trying to speak to support and they don't have a clue, as long as you can access the Internet according to them its fine.

Yes of course, up to a point.  Some of the webpages or domain specific so accessing with an IP doesn't resolve to the page on the server.  Also, if I am not at home then I have to alter the say the pages are accessed.

It's a massive pain. Vodafone have altered this in the past, changed it back again and now have changed it again.  Why not just have the option of a tick box to allow loopback on the local interface, most other routers have this.
