Hey all, I’m trying to access a service on my container that is running on port 8080. In order to do this I have to switch to http in the URL. I really don’t like doing http over the internet. Is there no way to terminate https at your guys proxy to get at port 8080?

Hi @pinter,

Our Public URL feature only exposes port 80.

If that helps we have a guide on our blog showing how to map other ports using CloudFlare tunnels: [Expose Your Device with a Custom URL via Cloudflare Tunnels](https://blog.balena.io/how-to-expose-your-device-with-a-custom-url-using-cloudflare-tunnels/)
