    I wonder what is making you use a proxy - are you running your external IP's through a non standard web port? ie not port 80? Or is it a problem with an IP or domain name restriction?

    There has to be a better option...

    ps. hope your not buying things online or banking through a proxy!
    even using the 'normal' http port of the webserver across the net is insecure. (that's why I don't longer use the web console ) except for emergency => if I login with admin account , in the evening I change the pwd directly.

    I would use the proxy to coupe with the http only support of the webserver , https to proxy and from proxy (internalnetwork ) in http to profilux.
    for the record : technically that isn't even called proxying but reversed proxy

    vpn is not always handy to do configuration.
