The remote client cannot parse the WCF Service metadata because the metadata address host name is the name of the server computer.

I deployed a WCF Service on the server and mapped it to the Internet. When an Internet client references the service, the metadata address host name is always the computer name of the server. Because the client is on the Internet of the server, therefore, the client cannot identify the computer name of the server.

For example, my published service address is http: // Internet address: Port Number/service name. SVC. The metadata address is automatically resolved to: http: // computer name: Port Number/service name. SVC? WSDL [the specific reason is unknown. If anyone knows this, please leave a message ].
