I have multiple things running through a reverse proxy and I’ve never had trouble accessing them until now. The two hospitals are part of the same company, so their network setup is probably identical.
Curiously, it’s not that the sites can’t be found, but instead my browser complains that it’s not secure.
So I don’t think it’s a DNS problem, but I wonder what the hospital is doing to the data.
All I could come up with in my research is this article about various methods of intercepting traffic. https://blog.cloudflare.com/performing-preventing-ssl-stripping-a-plain-english-primer/
Since my domain name is one that requires https (.app), the browser doesn’t allow me to bypass the warning.
Is this just some sort of super strict security rules at the hospital? I doubt they’re doing anything malicious, but it makes me wonder.
Thanks!

I’ve only had that happen once on public wifi, and just assumed they were doing SSL stripping like you linked. I worked around it by connecting to my Wireguard VPN and routing my traffic through that.
Thanks. Yup, wireguard makes it work. I forgot about that from the last time.
It’s still a little curious, though. The certs for my self hosted stuff are done the same was as for the Lemmy instance I’m posting from which I can browse with no problem. The only difference is Lemmy is hosted on Hetzner. Both are behind Nginx Proxy Manager.
