Can not get NGINX to allow connections..

[fbeye]

Hello

I have NPM running on an internal VM/Docker and it works fine but wanted to set it up to be on the opnsense appliance instead and seem to be having some serious issues.
My WAN is static IP and I have a duckdns.org attached to it and verified it is directed as such.
My OPNSense LAN Interface is 172.16.2.1 which is of course the GUI access address..
My OPNSense Port 80 and 443 have been changed so that those 2 ports are free and available for NGINX.
I followed this guide to the T obviously putting in the correct code relevant to mys setup.
I am not sure what I am missing.. And either I am not educated enough in log monitoring to see what I am missing or what, but I see no obvious issues... During the setup everything was set and applied without errors.. The certificates were processed and approved etc.

I also wanted to mention;

OPNSense LAN IP - 172.16.2.1, which connects to 172.16.2.2 - Interface IP on SG350XG which hosts several networks.
The Network in question is 192.168.1.180:8080.
On the OPNSense, I do have a static route 192.168.1.0/24 172.16.2.2 so this network and specific IP can indeed be found.
Not sure if there was something extra in the guide I would need to do that was not mentioned being the server being hosted is not on the OPNSense firewall or using 172.17.2.1. But, OPNSense can ping the 192.168.1.180 so there is a path.. Not sure if that would change the dynamic though...

Topology if it helps

Not sure how to "close" this thread. It clearly does not work so I deleted the plugins and moved on. I'm good.
