I have a gl-inet router on which I have an nginx config to send traffic to Nginx Proxy Manager and DDNS with cloudflare.
I’m trying to get some kind of local dns set up so that if I’m on the local network, traffic stays within the network. The problem that I’m running in to is SSL certificates. NPM (on the server) is handling those and I thought that what I could do is go into the AdGuard Home (on the gl-inet router) config and add a dns rewrite to point to the router and traffic would flow as it normally does.
This DOES work, technically. traceroute shows only one hop for any of my subdomains, ie files.mydomain.com.
But I cannot actually get access in a browser because the ssl certificates are not set up.
It seems like options are: manually copy certificates from the server to the router (not ideal), or don’t do it at all. I notice that if I go to the service by ip address, it’ll change the address to the domain name. Eg going to 192.168.8.111:30027 -> files.mydomain.com.
This isn’t a HUGE deal, but it’s not preferable. How have you all solved this?
I posted an edit to the post on how I i solved it. Your feedback was helpful in the solution!
