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

Keep having connection issues – it works – then without an changes from me – it’s down. NOTES: When you are bridged, the virtual machine asks the router directly for an IP address and can have ports forwarded to it. (Don’t forward 8123 to it, if you have port 443 working). When you set the mode to NAT, it doesn’t ask the router for an IP address Virtualbox gives it an IP address inside the Virtualbox ONLY network, in this mode you would need to port forward to the PC running virtualbox, rather than to the virtual machine itself – though I am not entirely sure how this configuration works myself to be honest, because then you are dealing with double NAT which makes everything a headache to troubleshoot. I believe when you are using the NAT mode, that you need to access Home Assistant via it’s NAT IP which you probably can’t do –

https://www.asustor.com/en/knowledge/detail/?id=&group_id=1004 Change Ports to get some services to work – ####Q: Why some of the services still not work even EZ Router/Port forward enabled? 2019-02-19 #EZ Router Some of the router will use specific service ports by default(for example webserver/80,443 FTP/21 ssh/22). In this case, even the compatible router's UPnP was enabled and ADM-Settings-Manual Connect-EZ Router was activated, the services/app(such as FTP, terminal, Photo Gallery and phpMyAdmin) still not able to be used from outside of the network. The issue could be solved by changing the service port in ADM-Service like WebServer from 80 to 8080 and 443 to 4430, FTP from 21 to 2100, then you should be able to access these services from out side of the network. *Currently we find ASUS compatible router model do have this issue, please try mentioned method to change NAS's service port to clarify if its caused by router.
