I can't work out what is going on although I have a hunch or two.
This is to access DSM via my website.
Received a new router from the ISP and had to make a change or two.
My setup is:
1. website uses A record to point to my static IP
2. router forwards the request to my NAS
3. the NAS picks up the request, and should be issuing the SSL/HTTPS certificate for the session
THE PROBLEM: the connection tries to use the SSL certificate of my router, not the LE one for my domain on the DSM - and so the connection fails.
With the old router I used port 443 for the reverse proxy, but 443 doesn't work on the new router (I think reserved by the ISP) so I changed it to 444.
With the old router the above would work simply going to my.website.com. Now I have to go to my.website.com:444. I want to remove the :444 if possible.
There is a reverse proxy picking up 444 and forwarding it to the DSM HTTPS port.
HOWEVER, and this is wherein the general problem lies, I can't work out where my router (especially the old one) would have been picking up the external port used if the website was simply my.website.com. The A record on the website doesn't point to a point, just the static IP.
SO i Was thinking, maybe it worked without :443/:444 before because 443 is the default HTTPS port and therefore it wasn't required?
OR - is there a setting on my router that will somehow redirect a request from my.website.com to port 444 on the DSM? But I don't remember doing this on the old router!
Any help would be greatly appreciated...!
