I don’t know if anyone else has asked for this, but would it be better if the main Gateway Home page, Status and Config pages be hosted on a different port separate from say Perspective, WebDev, and IdP functionality? We want to block public access to the gateway and only expose select individual perspective projects to be accessible.

For what it’s worth, I am also trying to use Caddy2 as a reverse proxy to help rewrite urls to obfuscate multiple projects under a subdomain.

Using a reverse proxy or some other external solution is the way to go.

I doubt this is something we’ll entertain due to the complexity involved.
