Good luck! It took me a good while to figure out how that all works

I just purchased my first domain, so now i get to learn how to use that with a reverse proxy and setting up the routing. DNS already giving issues on home network so this’ll be fun.

Nice! I use Nginx Proxy Manager and found the process to be surprisingly simple, but if your public IP change often it could be annoying if you don’t have some way to automate updates of DNS records. Let us know if you have any issues!

Thank you! I appreciate the extension. I think i’m in the right direction so far with it, just running in to a problem currently with getting my site to phone back to my device. it’s odd that it isn’t getting through. even with ports forwarded and reserved.

Is there something in particular tripping you up?

I do seem to be running in to one issue so far. I’ve got my * A record in the live dns pointing to my public IP and I do have ports open and reserved, just not seeming to be able to get it to work properly.

Small pro tip: if you going to use Nginx Proxy Manager - it has SSL cert generator built in that also auto-renews certs before they expire. Many people say that for security reasons, open only 443 port and close 80. But that will raise an issue where certs wont generate if port 80 is closed. Not sure if it works the same way with other reverse proxy managers. but it 100% does with NPM.
