Lets say I try to browse to [somesite.com:8088](http://www.somesite.com:8088), and because this is nto forwarded, you cannot access the gateway at all. Also, where do you set the http/s ports for ignition. Ive tried everywhere. ---

Ok, so if I uncheck Use SSL in the gateway settings, it quits rewriting. However then the client only connects via HTTP, which wont work for remote connections either. ---

If I keep Use SSL on, I can access the config pages, just not the home or status screens, as they get rewritten. ---

You’ll need both the SSL and normal ports to be forwarded. You can change the port assignments through the GCU, or by editing the [tt]config.xml[/tt] file if you’re running headless. ---

Ok, I got both sets of ports being NAT’d and allowed through the firewall. However, the requests get written to use the original ports, in this case, 8088 and 8043. I want to use the ports I select. In this case, its 36236/36246 ---

Ok, I assigned new ports to the Ignition servers, and disabled the NAT rules for the Ignition ports, only natting the IP. Now it works like a charm. ---

Glad you got it working!
