Configured Nginx to interact with Tomcat on port 9090 on mac.
This configuration works when querying on localhost. Fails to work when connecting from outside, until firewall is disabled.
I have firewall configuration to something like below for forwarding to port 8080 and 8443
sudo ipfw add 100 fwd 127.0.0.1,8080 tcp from any to me 80
sudo ipfw add 110 fwd 127.0.0.1,8443 tcp from any to me 443
Request domain.com --> 443 --> nginx on 8443 --> Tomcat 9090
Side note:
domain.com --> 80 --> re-directs to 443 and then to nginx on 8443 --> Tomcat 9090
iOS Firewall IPFW sends everything from 80 to 8080 and 443 to 8443
Nginx is running on 8080 and 8443
Nginx redirects everything from 8080 to 8443. Nginx on 8443 communicates with Tomcat over 9090.
Tomcat is on 9090
Router is configured to allow access on Port 80 and 443,
So the question, what do I need to change on mac to unblock firewall for a successful response.
