nginx proxy manager - Reverse Proxy Not Working
Long story short... I was too excited on getting the Orbi that I replaced my BT SmartHub2 and using the Orbi as the new router.
I was able to take a csreenshot of the port forwarding required.
Fast forward, I have now setup the router and the dockers/VM's are all working for the most part (can access using the IP addr and port), however I cannot get my NGINX Proxy Manager sorted. I just don't know where to start to look to fix the issue.
I have confirmed that in Cloudflare, my IP is correctly assigned in the DNS settings via the Cloudflare-DDNS docker.
I forwarded the ports in my router that I have configured in the NGINX Proxy Manager, however this is where I am guessing the problem sits.
Everything appears to be setup correctly, but I still cannot access any dockers through their reverse proxy.
I have used CanYouSeeMe.org and both 80 and 443 seems to be closed. These 2 are the same ports I had opened on the SmartHub and it was working fine.
Accessing reverse proxy gives the 522 connection timed out error.
I am hoping some one else has encountered this or has some information on troubleshooting this.
Hardware Version RBR850
Firmware Version V4.6.3.16_2.0.51
GUI Language Version V3.0.1.2_2.1.30.3
Operation Mode Router
Okay strangely. I think things have sorted itself out and I genuinely don't know how.
- I had to reset the Orbi.
- Restart the setup of the Orbi Router.
- Switched off my Pi and so the nginx proxy manager.
- Restarted my Pi and all the services (npm).
Everything seems to have magically worked now.
Thanks and sorry all. Seems like a the classic case of "Have you tried turning it off and on again"

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? If this SmartHub, these usually have a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopTry option #2 first...

The Manufacturer of the device I am not sure, I will need to double check but it is for BT (British Telecom I think). It is the latest Hub they have which is called the SmartHub 2.
I have Fibre from BT and only the router provided. I can directly plug in the Orbi router completely replacing the BT Smart Hub 2. So I am not sure there is a double NAT issue as the ISP provided device is not in use (packed and returned to avoid any fees).
The port forwarding is set up excatly like I used to.
I am still researching the problem. I am thinking it has something to do with the fibre connection may be? I have a random white box with just 1 cable out of it, which was plugged to the ISP router. I have now plugged in the cable to Orbi. So every device is working like it should.. and amazing speeds.
Just my poor docker services cannot be accesed using the reverse proxy.
Thanks again.
Not sure you are in the right community here ... either there is something conceptually complete off, like subnets referred not reachable or the like, ports used for multiple things, ...
For the Docker, I would start about here:
docker logs nginx-proxy
How about doing the same thing on the Orbi router that you did on the BT Hub: forward ports 80 and 443 to the LAN IP address of the nginx proxy manager.
On the Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net), select the Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings, and the menu item Port Forwarding.
One thing may not be obvious: Those "CanYouSeeMe" web services only report a port open if the device on the LAN actually accepts the connection request and responds. When a port is forwarded on the Orbi, any connection request that arrives for that port is forwarded to the LAN. If no device is listening on the LAN, or if the device has a firewall setting to refuse certain connections, then the IP packet simply "dies". That web site does not get anything back. No ACK. No NACK. Nothing.
I have done the exact same.
Does "CanYouSeeMe.org" report the same IP address as the Orbi WAN IP? (Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, "Internet Port")
