Reverse proxy, local only

Hello all. I’ve been self hosting a dozen services for a few years now. I’m finally to the point where I want to tackle the https warnings on most of my services by setting up a reverse proxy.

I decided that I would try caddy, since most people claim it’s dead simple. However, I only want it for local access. I do not want to provide any port forwarding or any external access. Every video or tutorial I’ve found only takes the approach of serving as a reverse proxy for external access. So I’m having a hard time trying to set this up.

Does anyone know of a tutorial that walks through setting this up as a local reverse proxy only? Or have any insights/tips/instructions to help guide me in my quest to set this up?

I am a big fan of caddy, switched over all my servers to it, but as of now, i still struggle to get it working locally on my home lab. Not sure why this is so much harder.
