Hello! I have 2 services that are only being accessed locally but require HTTPS so I am using Caddy & DuckDNS w/ DNS-01 to reverse proxy them. In DuckDNS, both subdomains are pointing at the local IP address of Caddy, and my Caddyfile has:
service1.duckdns.org:443 {
tls {
dns duckdns {
api_token API-TOKEN
}
}
reverse_proxy 192.168.0.51:8080
}
service2.duckdns.org:443 {
tls {
dns duckdns {
api_token API-TOKEN
}
}
reverse_proxy 192.168.0.20:8080
}
The issue is that I can access https://service1.duckdns.org/ (within my home network), but I can’t access https://service2.duckdns.org/ (502 Bad Gateway). Caddy is running in a LXC in Proxmox, and Service1 is on a different VM on the same Proxmox machine, while Service2 is on a different machine on my network. I don’t see any entries in my router’s firewall logs or PiHole that indicates something is blocking it. I enabled logging in Caddy for both services and I am only able to see activity for Service1, so I guess that means something is blocking Service2 from reaching Caddy entirely?
I’m able to access service2 directly from the IP address but I’m a novice in networking so I’m trying to understand and learn what could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated!


Have you tried NGINX proxy manager? It really simplifies the whole process.
