Loopback is a feature of the modem/router. Just because you host it yourself it doesn't mean you can't access it. I know this because I run websites and I can access them fine because my router supports loopback.
There is a workaround for this though. Just edit your hosts file and put in your domain to point to localhost
Not great but it works.
