So now in the present day i decided to finally update my trusty pfSense router from the battle hardened version of 2.4.5-p1 up to the current release 2.5.2, i had been holding out watching the noise of people upgrading to 2.5.0 and then 2.5.1 (better but still had nasty bugs) and having their routers services crashing and do all number of bad things, so yes i did have a smug face on at that time :-). So a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away i started using port forwarding on my router, after a while i heard about reverse proxying and thought i would give the then very active LSIO Let's Encrypt docker image a go, after fiddling with it and finding it rather hard to wrap my head around due to the number of moving parts (no offense meant LSIO) i settled on Nginx Proxy Manager, which although missing some of the features that the Let's Encrypt docker image and the later (and current) SWAG image has, it worked for me and i was relatively happy, it worked well enough and it was secure enough to let me sleep at night, although it did make me a little uncomfortable that i was relying on a single docker container for most of my incoming connections, and the lack of including fail2ban was a disappointment (something SWAG does have).
