Changed System>Settings>HTTPS to HTTP.
Kept the last NGINX config with wildcard cert for the domain.
So it works that way HTTP>Opnsense>NGINX(forced redirect to HTTPS)>proxied to HTTP Opnsense

Weird, but works for home only, I think cause I don't have to mess with certs in the local network (even if any domain + cloudflare solves it).

Possibly the problem is here, but a browser works with no problem directly with the Opnsense. So I thought there should be no problem. To solve it I tried to use HTTP instead of HTTPS after redirection.

Hi!
I have a basic setup:
home network as WAN 192.168.1.0 - LAN 10.10.10.0
Behind firewall sits NGINX rev proxy.
And I forward 80 and 443 from WAN to NGINX

So I want to enter Opnsense via LAN 10.10.10.1.

So my current scheme is:
192.168.1.101 (opnsense WAN)-to-10.10.10.2(NGINX REV. PROXY)-to-10.10.10.1(Opnsense LAN address)

But I faced with problems that NGINX change HTTP to HTTPS while reversing to Opnsense. Other services work fine line NGINX static web page etc.

How to solve it?

And my NGINX config:
