I have made a wordpress website on my desktop. I have the correct host port forwarding setup for both 80/443 ports. When I connect to my website using the http://external-ip I get sent to my site. However, when I use the DNS name: http://mywebsite it gets re-directed to https and I get a "refused to connect". Why is my http address getting redirected to https? I am using google domains for domain registration and DNS. The re-direction also happens on my phone etc. I ran tcpdump on port 80 and I see no traffic come in, so it is not my webserver that is redirecting http to https. Who could be doing it?
I tried using my external ip and that works correctly. When I use the DNS name that redirects to a https page which does not work because my webserver does not listen on https port.
I have tried clearing the site settings and browser cache, but this keeps happening. I also enabled "insecure content" for my website in chrome, and cleared the history/cache. It is still happening.
EDIT: this is what developer tools show:
Request Method:GET
