Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/1969

have a simple addition I would like to request.
The ability to forward port ranges for streams.

According to the docs for Nginx it should be possible. https://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_core_module.html#listen
Although when I attempt to forward a range in NPM it requires me to input 1 port number and won't accept a range.

I am also needing this feature, I have around 4,000 ports I need to setup and doing it one at a time is not really feasible. If anyone has any other work arounds please let me know.

So, I thought I'd have a look at the conf file generated by NPM. In my case I'm using the Alpine script for Proxmox. This puts the conf file in /data/nginx/stream/x.conf . Here's the code ouput for one of the files.

# ------------------------------------------------------------
# <PORT> TCP: 1 UDP: 1
# ------------------------------------------------------------


server {
  listen <PORT>;
listen [::]:<PORT>;


  proxy_pass <FORWARD_IP>:<PORT>;

  # Custom
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream[.]conf;
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream_tcp[.]conf;
}


server {
  listen <PORT> udp;
listen [::]:<PORT> udp;

  proxy_pass <FORWARD_IP>:<PORT>;

  # Custom
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream[.]conf;
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream_udp[.]conf;
}

So, I thought in my brilliance, I'd just modify the file with a port range at the end. Aparently, that's not how this works because now NPM doesn't load it's web interface at all. If someone thinks I might be on to something here, feel free to modify my screw up and see if this can be accomplished.

# ------------------------------------------------------------
# <PORT-START>-<PORT-END> TCP: 1 UDP: 1
# ------------------------------------------------------------


server {
  listen <PORT-START>-<PORT-END>;
listen [::]:<PORT-START>-<PORT-END>;


  proxy_pass <FORWARD_IP>:<PORT-START>-<PORT-END>;

  # Custom
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream[.]conf;
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream_tcp[.]conf;
}


server {
  listen <PORT-START>-<PORT-END> udp;
listen [::]:<PORT-START>-<PORT-END> udp;

  proxy_pass <FORWARD_IP>:<PORT-START>-<PORT-END>;

  # Custom
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream[.]conf;
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_stream_udp[.]conf;
}

Thanks in advance.

this would be amazing to have, it's a real pain to have to enter each port of a large range individually.

Trying to setup a stream to forward SIP ports to a PBX - I'd love to be able to add 10,000-20,000 UDP range...but as we all know - currently not possible. Please add this feature :)

Thank you all for requesting this cool feature!!! Sadly - I haven't found a solution yet as the stream is a single port.

Instead - I have two PBX...one with the main portforwards going to it. So I just setup a sip trunk between that PBX and the other one....Perfect? No....remote users can register a phone/softphone to the 2nd PBX - But it works good enough for testing.

I suspect a SBC may be able to address this as well ... but I haven't had the time to explore this yet.

+1 for Port range forwarding. I have an FTP server and I need to forward 100 ports manually :-(
