Outside. Lift up the fuckoff manhole cover to open up a world of putrid disgustingness then shove in the rod till there's a release and everything drains away. Hose everything down and have a long hot shower! Have a pair of elbow-length hardcore rubber gloves that were a good buy.
Drain attachment for the karcher looks like a handy thing - will buy that now.

Our old house was end of terrace, and the communal sewer ran up the side return to the road.
There was an inspection pit, some 2.5 meters deep.
It overflowed once.
There's your own putrid disgustingness, and then there is other people's putrid disgustingness.
The drain guy fished out at least one nappy, a bung of wet wipes, and 3 whole tomatoes.

Inside or outside?
I've got to look at our external drains. I am not relishing the prospect. I do have a PW and the unblocking attachment though....
It will probably just crack our ancient Edwardian pipes though won't it? sigh
