Afternoon y’all, apologies if this is brief writing this in a rush expect an edit/update.

My question is in regard to port forwarding & web hosting, I’ve forwarded port 80, 8080 & 443 from my router and my reverse proxy (traefik) is able to receive the necessary SSL/TLS certificates however, my domain is only accessible locally or via WireGuard tunnels and not the World Wide Web (which is good!) however, I can’t seem to figure out what’s preventing it from being accessible to the WWW.

My registrar is cloudflare so i figured changing my DNS or at least pushing some queries to my cloudflare nameservers would at least do something but have had no luck. For the most part I’ve been using Quad9 behind PiHole for DNS, tried using Unbound however it was a complete mess to setup.

Must end this post here - will update with more info ASAP!

How did you get the certs? Was it though a DNS challenge or web server on port 80?
