I set-up the revsered proxy server for this using appache (on windows) but didn't work Any solution Note :the firewall was made as and web application too ,I can't provide detail code here

Answer 1

Try NginX, here is a sample code

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:your_webapp_port;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

consider running the website with https for security.

Answer 2

I have had a lot of success many years ago using ngrok for a reverse proxy - might be worth a shot, if you're still working on this. (or if anyone else comes across this question)
