Reverse Proxy - Appreciate you looking at my NGINX and Config files

Configuration
1

I’m trying to set up secure access and a reverse proxy. I thought I had it but I got myself locked out. Fortunately a re-start fixed it as I didn’t have NGINX run on boot.

Can anyone give me some help on doing this properly. The domains and DDNS obtained from EasyDNS, the certificate files are from Let’s Encrypt. They are installed in the config/ssh folder and are valid. So here’s what I have so far:

In the NGINX config file:

domain: ha.HIDDEN.ca
hsts: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
cloudflare: false
customize:
  active: false
  default: nginx_proxy_default*.conf
  servers: nginx_proxy/*.conf
real_ip_from: []

Configuration.yaml has:

http:
  server_port: 443
  ssl_certificate: /config/ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: /config/ssl/privkey.pem
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 172.30.33.0/24
  ip_ban_enabled: true
  login_attempts_threshold: 5

I have a file created in /config/nginx_proxy called nginx_proxy_default.config with the contents:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name _;  # A catch-all server block

    location / {
        return 444;  # No Response
    }
}
