Help setting up pfsense and NGINX reverse proxy

Hey all,

Trying to get a reverse proxy set up to remote access certain services remotely. I moved pfsense to an alternate port and NATed 80/443 to the NGINX container. DNS resolved my external IP. I have tried with and without SSL through lets encrypt. HTTP and HTTPS mapping. When I load the page, it just times out. Attached are pictures of my current configuration, I’m hoping someone can point out what I’m doing wrong.


is it at all possible you have a modem/router ahead of your pfsense box? a double nat situation could cause a issue like that.

personally, i always prove a solid connection before i add any certs.

may i ask why you arent using haproxy in pfsense as a proxy?
