Currently I have cloudflare routing my email traffic to my external IP and then ports are forwarded directly to my email servers local IP. This works great because everything else that's hosted on my server, is served with cloudflare tunnel. This has worked for a several years but I want to not use CF tunnels for a few other services due to the upload size limit. Is there a service I can use to chunk these uploads/downloads?

I know I need to rout all the traffic to a reverse proxy (I have used NginXProxyManager in the past) but I'm lost when it comes to reverse proxy'ing a mail server. I'm not very experienced using a reverse proxy manger since CF tunnels is, to me, a giant EASY button when it comes to hosting services.

What I'm looking for:

1. What proxy manager can accomplish this? (I'm hoping NginXProxyManager can since it has a GUI)

2. How to secure services with SSL? I know I can get different certificates from cloudflare to do this but It's a little confusing to set up.

In the past, I used pfsense to route specific traffic to specific containers. i.e. service1.mydomain.xyz to container 1 and service2.mydomain.xyz to container 2 and so on. I'm no longer using pfsense; now using a unifi but I don't know if this is possible with unfi hardware?

Add information

No one?

In case someone else comes across this thread with the same question. I was overthinking it it pretty bad. In my case, I forwarded all the ports the container needed directly to the container except http and https. Those ports are forwarded to my proxy manager. This way worked for me.
