I have various services in my homelab behind one instance of Nginx Proxy Manager so everything uses HTTPS. I want some, but not all, of these services available externally, so I setup a second instance ​of NPM and forward​ port 443 from my router to it with the goal that this 'external' NPM will proxy requests to the 'internal' NPM. Unfortunately, I've been having trouble. Has anyone else attempted something like this? Or am I going about this all wrong?​

As in the title, I have NPM setup in my homelab, and it works great for the various docker containers I forward too. However, I want to actually see all the network communication going between the various services, both for troubleshooting an issue and just for learning. Currently, I've setup a man-in-the-middle proxy using its own self-signed certs to capture the traffic. It works just fine when I configure my browser to forward to it, but now I want to have NPM just forward everything to it so I can see all the communication. If there isn't an easy global setting I can configure to just have everything sent to the proxy, how can I configure the individual hosts?

Or is all this a feat in futility, and I'm just waiting my time? Thank you
