I've been working on this problem for a couple of weeks, many many hours actually, while I tried about a year ago and no I'm back at it and I cannot figure out what I am missing in getting Reverse Proxy to work. I have done I lot of investigating and can usually find answers with enough time researching but I am stumped. I just don't know enough about this sort of stuff I think. I will try to show everything I have done, and tell you what works and what doesn't. I have followed a couple of tutorials and everything works right up to the very end where they say "Congratulations, now you should have Reverse Proxy working!"
To start I have a domain:
I guess I will refer to it as dn.ca. I also have a Static IP and I have my DNS A records pointing to it as shown in the following Screenshot:
Side note You can see my ultimate goal with Reverse Proxy in the last entry which is to be able to access my services without needing to open excess ports. I was trying something else at that point desperate I think. I don't believe this is needed in any way and should probably not be here but I was trying stuff!
I can ping dn.ca which does resolve to my Static IP address.
I can do a browser search for dn.ca and in it will get through my Port Forwarding on my router to my NAS (443). And as you can see I have been messing around a bit with Port forwarding. You can disregard the Nas881 that is my offsite Nas, unless somehow that is causing an issue. I tried with and without mapping the 443 Internal Port.
But no matter what I do the end result is always the same shown here:
This is what I have set up in my Reverse Proxy section:
And here I tried both with localhost and with the IP address of the NAS in place of localhost in the Destination like this: http://192.168.205.3:5690
I feel like I must be setting something wrong at my Domain Name Registrar site, which is Rebel BTW, because I have no idea what I'm doing there, or else it's just something else simple I'm missing? If anyone knows what I can do or the troubleshooting path to follow I am really stumped at this point. Thank you to any one who might be able to help.
