Solve : Public address of router accessing website on local network?

Answer»

I have web server behind NAT and from LOGS I NOTICED that sometimes public address of my router has visited my website.

When real remote visitors come to my site their IPs are logged CORRECTLY, so they are not causing these log entries.
When I visit my website from local PC my local address (192.168...) is logged so that isn't causing this either.

Quote from: Example from log

54.72.x.x  19.04.2014 10:05:53 <- Actual remote visitor
84.251.x.x  19.04.2014 12:41:38 <- Public IP of my router

My NETWORK consists of PC, server and the router. Router is ZyXEL P-660HN-T1A.

To my understanding the router has no reason to ACCESS website.
What could explain this? After few hours of investigation I found out that NoScript feature called ABE (http://noscript.net/abe/wan) causes this. Case solved.
