Well, I’ve been tinkering with NGINX for a while at home, up till now I had a somewhat working reverse proxy setup (to access my stuff, when I’m not at home or away). What didn’t work so far was the DSM web interface. Basically, because the interface is using absolute paths in some CSS/JS includes, which fuck up the whole interface. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/scripts/ext-3/resources/css/ext-all.css?v=3211" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/scripts/ext-3/resources/css/xtheme-gray.css?v=3211" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/scripts/ext-3/ux/ux-all.css?v=3211" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resources/css/desktop.css?v=3211" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resources/css/flexcrollstyles.css?v=3211" /> ... <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/uistrings.cgi?lang=enu&v=3211"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/webfm/webUI/uistrings.cgi?lang=enu&v=3211"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="uistrings.cgi?lang=enu&v=3211"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/prototype-1.6.1/prototype.js?v=3211"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/ext-3/adapter/ext/ext-base.js?v=3211"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/ext-3/ext-all.js?v=3211"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/ext-3/ux/ux-all.js?v=3211"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/scrollbar/flexcroll.js?v=3211"></script> After some googling and looking through the NGINX documentation I thought “Why don’t I create a vHost for each application that is being served by the reverse proxy?”. ...

First, you need to enable Click&Load link submittion from external hosts (Config->Plugins->ClickAndLoad->Allow external link adding). After that, simply add the forwarding rule using an elevated command prompt: 1 netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=127.0.0.1 listenport=9666 connectaddress=<nasip> connectport=9666
