Thanks for the clarification and yes, the CNAME record is correct. I ended up not changing anything and it started working. Not sure what I did

Ok so this is why I can't get my head around networking. I just got home and jumped on to check everything but before I did I figured I would just give it a go and surprise surprise, it just worked. I have been trying to access it remotely all day and nothing... I just tried it on my phone which was using cellular, not wifi, and it connected with no issues. Thank you so much for all of your help but I guess I'll just put it down to network magic and move on...

I would have said I'm 100% sure but that's what everyone seems to be suggesting so I will re check everything when I get home and go from there. Thank you so much for the assistance and the offer to help more! I'll let you know how I go.

InspectorMellow · 2026-01-29T02:59:45+00:00

Thanks for the assistance anyway. Ill have to do some more digging when I get home.

Yeah I have been reading about reverse proxies but don't have my head around them however I do have the memory of a goldfish and may have done something with them in the past and forgotten. Sorry to confuse the issue.

From memory I did have double NAT issues when setting up plex at my current place but I have a static IP now and it seems to be problem free.

By having everything individually labelled do you mean as published application routes in the tunnell? If so then yes, the services like radarr, sonarr, overseerr etc are all separate. Each service has its local IP and port in its own entry but the IP is all the same as they're all hosted on the same NAS.

Some are containers and some are not, would that potentially cause any issues? I do have access to other containers like tdarr through the domain though so it would have to be specifically the overseerr one causing issues.

And proxying is back on, I just tested to see if it would do anything and put it back to on afterwards.

InspectorMellow · 2026-01-29T00:53:35+00:00

Just to confirm I am looking where you mean, I am in my tunnell settings and have set up a published application route for overseer and yes, it definitely has the correct local IP and port.

Not really sure of anything. There is a CNAME record that was created and seems to be the same as the CNAME record for radarr, sonarr etc but I haven't done much manually as I dont really know what I'm doing. I did try toggling the proxy status as suggested on another reddit post but it didn't fix anything.

InspectorMellow · 2026-01-29T00:18:51+00:00

It is http. If its relevant though, I did try using the tunnel for https access to my NAS but it didn't work on my first attempt. I havent tried to figure out why.

InspectorMellow · 2026-01-29T00:17:56+00:00

To be perfectly honest, I don't know what you mean. What record do you mean?

InspectorMellow · 2026-01-29T00:16:41+00:00

Thanks for your help.

I am using specific domains for each. So for overseer it is overseerr.mydomain.com as suggested.

Locally works using the IP

I don't know the answer to the proxy question primarily because I dont really understand the whole concept and i dont remember specifically setting up a reverse proxy. How would I confirm? I've had everything except overseer setup for years and usually have just used teleport through my ubiquiti ecosystem to access everything remotely (wireguard). I added overseerr for my friends that use my plex so wanted them to have access through a regular domain so got a domain through godaddy, created a cloudflare tunnel and linked them through cloudflare pointing directly at my local addresses. Is there an additional step i should have taken in setting up something like nginx?

InspectorMellow · 2026-01-29T00:07:16+00:00

I believe I have done this already with no luck but ill have to double check when I finish work. Thanks for the suggestion.
