Ok that makes sense. I’m not trying to tie any of this to my external domain though, I just want to proxy Lan names at the moment.

I have a domain set up for home assistant though Cloudflare and I don’t want anything else to be externally accessible.

So what I’m currently trying to do is have radarr.crypt, Sonarr.crypt, plex.crypt, openwrt.crypt hit the correct lanIP:port

I can’t do that with just my DNS because that’s just for lanIP not port

So I’m trying to have the *.crypt go to the Nginx IP and have that proxy the name to the IP and port.

I’ve been prodding it all day and even had ChatGPT have a go at it but I’m getting nowhere.

And this is why I don’t like Nginx.

I have managed to get Nginx working and even got a pretty UI for it, but just can’t get it to proxy my IP addresses to names.

It ain’t a big deal, Heimdall does the job for now, just thought it would be a nice way to dip my toes in.
