I have a reverse proxy set up already. The path from the outside goes:
DNS -> my IP -> reverse proxy -> server
I’m just wondering what happens when my own devices on the same network go to the domain.

What you are looking for is something called NAT Reflection/HairPin NAT/NAT loopback. When you search for a “domain.example.com” your router loops you back at your reverse proxy and all the traffic remains “internal”. Your website will still be externally accessible (the ones you setup to be). Here’s a example of how to set this up on PfSense router. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngwae1UvS-Q
