      Ok, from the view of the firewall rules it should work now.

      Does the webserver basically respond to access from outside? Did you test it with a local forwarding on site 2?

      Is the site 1 WAN reachable on TCP 1443?

      To investigate use Diagnostic > Packet Capture. On site one check if you see incoming packets on TCP port 1443. If so, check on the VPN interface for packets on port 443 as you forward it.

      When you see the packets on both, go to site 2 and sniff the traffic on the incoming VPN interface and on the server facing interface and check for packets on port 443.

        @viragomann ok figured it out
        plex was getting the my site 2 public ip so it was trying to connect directly
        so I gave the docker its own IP and made this rule 57acdb42-e989-4ae8-9caa-b086ab97f01e-image.png now I get
        29717dc3-d5e4-4881-8b42-f697f29d33c0-image.png
        this is my rule
        957da0c2-55b8-4602-b8b2-61e0bdec29c9-image.png
        I even tried
        1d3d78f6-8a74-482f-b315-cbe535e2c743-image.png
        to test if I left a port closed but still the same.

        when I disable the rule that changes the default gateway to site 1 it finds the private and public IP just fine
