HTTPS on device local page

Product support
1

Hi, I would like to enable HTTPS on the local webserver I have running on my devices, so people on the local network cannot snoop on device traffic. I have read on an old thread that 443 is used by the VPN. Is that still the case ?

Does that mean that HTTPS on port 443 cannot be used on the devices ?
If HTTPS can be used, how does that interact with the Public Device URL forwarding ?

Thank you !

The Cloudlink VPN is connecting to port 443 at Balena’s end, but that doesn’t prevent you listening on port 443 locally at the same time.

Hi Jon, thank you

What if I redirect http traffic to https, will that affect the forwarding for the Public Device URL ?
