This is a question not a feature request but didn't know how to ask a question on here

I have a server with ssl on back end and want to pass the ssl through nginx for termination on back end server. Is this possible?

setup:

Internet --> nginx-proxy-manager --> backend server (ssl 443)

No it's not possible. From my understanding of TCP and SSL at least anyway. Let's see if anyone has any wacky out of the box ideas here.

I have ended up using traefik 2.0 for this, I have some sites with https endpoints and some with tcp passthrough using fqdn and its working great.
I do like the simplicity of nginx-proxy-manager but was spending way to much time trying to get it to work.
