Unable to access orbi web interface through reverse proxy
Hello,
I set up a reverse proxy on my NAS that access multiple services. All are working great.
I would like to access the orbi web management interface remotely through my nas (reverse proxy).
So I set origine and destination on 430 port with hostname orbi.mydomain.me to 10.0.0.1 (orbi lan IP).
My Orbi 750 is set on router mode, not AP mode.
What do I miss?
Thanks

How could I escalate to orbi support?
My impression is that most people turn to the Community Forum and Reddit because (a) the 90 days of 'complimentary support' that came with purchase of a product have long expired, and (b) they are not willing to pay Netgear for support. The current rate is $99/year: https://www.netgear.com/home/services/prosupport
Having been to cheap to purchase support, I have no idea whether implementing Reverse Proxy on some LAN device is a topic they are competent (or willing) to handle.
just saw that only one user at a time can be logged in the management console
Actually, it is one IP address at a time. I have more than one browser open to the router web admin.
When you connect remotely to the router to get to the NAS, the port is forwarded to the NAS IP address.
Is the NAS 10.0.0.10?
With any kind of proxy (remote or <what is 'not remote'?>) traffic goes in both directions through the proxy.
It’s not the cause…
here is what I have in the log when I try de connect remotely to my orbi through my reverse proxy:
I specified https://orbi.mydomain.xxx .
rules in my reverse proxy is to root to 10.0.0.1 which is my orbi address
why port from the dns is random 57785?
why destination is 10.0.0.10
I have a upnp rules in my orbi that is similar to that

Not the outbound connection from the reverse proxy to the Orbi.
God…
just saw that only one user at a time can be logged in the management console…
maybe it’s my issue.
to be honnest, management console needs a deep refresh…
No error message, seems that it’s searching.
Will post log shortly
More detail about how it doesn't work?
- no response at all?
- refuses to connect?
- error message?
Confess I have never set up a reverse proxy. (or used any sort of proxy)
- What are the connections that work? (any of them web sites?)
- Can you publish the configurations that work?
Although I have forwarded many Ports through my Netgear router to devices on the LAN, I am not confident that port 430 (https) can be.
Have you tried using port 80?
port 430 (https)
HTTPS is port 443, not 430.
430 is assigned to a protocol called utmpsd. No idea what that service is, the IANA port registry doesn't say.
I set up a reverse proxy on my NAS that access multiple services. All are working great.
I would like to access the orbi web management interface remotely through my nas (reverse proxy).Do any of the other services use SSL/TLS?
My mistake team, error while typing.
port is 443 of course
still doesn’t work:)
Yep, tried with 80 and 430... same...
