Finally using SSL certs on my local services, no more HTTPS warnings. Someone appreciate because my GF could care less (alien.top)

I love my homelab, and the more I tune things the more satisfaction I have. I tolerated the "Your connection is not private" for my self-signed SSL certs on my services for way too long.

I just setup NGINX Proxy Manager as a LXC on my Proxmox Server and pointed a subdomain I own to the server. Now I have custom domains for each service along with valid SSL Certificates. It's all local without exposing anything to the outside world. It's very satisfying. I tried explaining what I was doing to my GF but she could care less ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Followed this video from Wolfgang's Channel YouTube (great channel btw), the first minute does a better job explaining the setup. I always thought I would have to setup a local CA which is more work than I was interested in, but this approach was much simpler (and free!).

I got this working as well and am super happy with it! I do have a few small issues though.

I have setup a wildcard cert to *.mydomain.dev pointing to my IP. Anyone can ping any of the subdomains and get my true IP because this setup requires me to have cloudflare setup dns only and if I set it to proxied, it doesn't work.

The second issue I have is some of my applications are not too happy with the setup on https. CasaOS will fail to load the login page unless I clear the cache every time. Pterodactyl won't let anyone externally get to a few of the pages. And a few more here and there I can't remember.

I've followed this nginx proxy manager tutorial and a couple others to get it working to where it's at now, but I can't for the life of me figure out my above issues with my knowledge and experience.

If anyone has any knowledge or resources for these issues please let me know as I've wanted to fix this for a while.
