Reverse Proxy Admin Portal?

I have an XG running in bridge mode. It is not my edge firewall. (Cable Modem <> Router/Firewall <> XG in Bridge Mode <> rest of network)

My firewall has a port mapping to direct 443 traffic to the XG Bridge IP address on 443

I successfully reverse published multiple web hosts on the rest of network this way, using domains i.e. foo.domain.com for server1 and bar.domain.com for server 2 etc (all HTTPS)

I want to publish the admin portal on 4444 too, i set it up using the same implementation pattern other internal servers but it fails with:

Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Any suggestions?

Alex,

Use vpn instead. Publishing admin port on wan is not a best practice. In order to allow admin port connection even on wan, go under Administration > device access and enable admin https on wan zone. No firewall rule is needed.

I understand your perspective but I am looking for an answer to my technical question.

(If I can't trust the efficacy of the security of the XG portal then I might as well throw it out, this is a low threat environment I am using it in,)
