Tried to setup custom domains using Nginx Proxy Manager and Let’s Encrypt DNS-01 challenges so I wouldn’t have to open any ports and it worked!.. except not really?
Proxy Manager shows everything was successful but the domains don’t go anywhere. It seems to be because the TP-Link router from my ISP does DNS Rebinding protection… with no option to turn it off apparently… why…
So now I don’t know where to go. I’m not really fancying hosting DNS myself but if I can’t fix this any other way then I guess I’ll do it. Or maybe I should ditch the ISP TP-Link and get something I could flash OpenWRT on?

Is the ISP supplied box also your wifi?
If not, IMHO I’d use the ISP equipment as a pass-through modem (if possible on that model?) and have a separate OpenWRT / pfSense firewall do all the heavy lifting for DHCP, DNS, ad blocking, etc
Depends if you’d then need another WAP, of course

It is also my Wifi, yeah. I didn’t even consider that’d complicate things further. It does have a “pass-through” option though.

Presuming you can put OpenWRT on it, it’ll be fine as a single box
IMHO, I just prefer having it all as separates and then fix / change / upgrade parts as I go - but I soon run out of places to hide them
