      Hi Everyone,

      I have pfSense running VPN through IPSec using a public IP (ex: 1.1.1.1). I can access pfSense using that IP through HTTPS. Also, I have a local website that I can access it from the internet using HTTP and the same public IP. I'm using Port Forward for this.

      https://1.1.1.1 >> to access pfSense from the internet. >> working now
      http://1.1.1.1 >> to access local website from the internet. >> working now

      Now I wanted to use https for the local website with the same public IP how will it work? is there a way to bypass.
      I not sure if the idea of changing ports will be the proper way.

      Thank you

        There is a method where the header is examined for the original URL and the connection forwarded based on that. However, I have no experience with that and it would require something beyond the basic pfSense.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
