This solved my problem with proxy hosts being unreachable after turning DNS Rebind Check and Browser HTTP_REFERER enforcement back on in pfSense. I had the DNS records in Pi-hole associated with the proxy host IPs when I should of had them pointed at the Nginx IP address instead. Of course I still had to add pfSense and Nginx to the Alternate Hostnames or else I'd get the block page from pfSense. Thanks a bunch.

This video is the first time I have been able to use nginx proxy manager. I have struggled for years to learn how it works. The best video out there right here. Thanks.

Awesome demo, thanks for the info and config.

Interesting way to accomplish this. The only issue I can see is if you have a wild card resolve from Cloudlfare DNS to your public IP and you don't want the app publicly accessible.
I do something very similar without Pi-Hole. The way I accomplish this type of access is to have the wildcard DNS entry in Cloufflare point to my local IP of NPM. No need for the double entry for the app in both Pi-Hole and NPM. Nginx config is all that is needed since locally Cloudflare will point to the local Nginx Proxy Server. Outside access is handled, in my case is with another domain name. I also spin Authentik in there too for added security. But that is the beautiful thing about what we do. There's more than one way to do things and if it works, it's not wrong.
Good videos, keep it up.

Would NPM work if i have CG-NAT? NPM always give me an error during sll cert request. And yes 443 & 80 is open

Just wondering if you have a way to make nginx a forward proxy with a whitelist?

[mariuszzawierucha]

So to accomplish that particular task you have to own a domain, right? What if I don't have any? How to add ssl cert to each of my containers then?

Any preference doing via NPM as compared to Cloudflared tunnel ?

Great video, thanks!

But do I really need to enter each service/server on Pi Hole one by one?
