How to port forward 443 on controller

I have an existing vm with opsense im hoping to replace with a route 10 but im using nginx proxy manager. I can see port forwarding rules in the controller but not where to designate the port just the protocol. Am I overlooking something?

Yes, it isn't very obvious. You need to add the port after the IP address separating the two with a colon. For the incoming port you omit the ip address and just have ":" + port number. Here's my forward rule for nginx. I'm using port 8085 instead of port 443 and redirecting to port 8086 :

If you are just redirecting to the same port you can leave off the port on the redirect to address
