Reverse Proxy & Internal and External Urls w/ Wordpress

How the Reverse Proxy Handles HTTP to HTTPS When you set up a reverse proxy, here’s how it works: External HTTPS Request: A user visits https://spiffynasty.com/blahblahblah/ (secured with HTTPS). The reverse proxy (on spiffynasty.com) receives this request over HTTPS. Internal Forwarding to HTTP: The reverse proxy forwards this request internally to your NAS using HTTP, like http://192.168.1.30/blahblahblah/. The connection between spiffynasty.com and 192.168.1.30 (your NAS) is happening over your local network, so it’s secure in the sense that it’s not exposed to the outside world. Response from NAS: Your NAS (192.168.1.30) serves the requested content back to the reverse proxy over HTTP. Secure Response to the Client: The reverse proxy then encrypts the response (via HTTPS) and sends it back to the user as https://spiffynasty.com/blahblahblah/. Why It’s Safe: The critical point is that the public-facing side (what users interact with) is over HTTPS, secured by the certificate you set up on spiffynasty.com. The internal communication
