Reverse Proxy Configuration
I am having problem in configuring a Reverse Proxy. NOTE: I primarily want the Firewall IP Address to redirect the user to a Webserver hosted inside the LAN subnet. Is there any references or documentation which I can utilize? I did find an official documentation regarding reverse proxy but it says that Configuring reverse proxy is only possible through CLI and once I try the given syntax it gives an error
> ReverseProxyCLI on
Error: The parameters of ReverseProxyCLI command should be provided in pairs (key and value). You have provided an odd number of parameters which suggests that you are probably missing a parameter.

You need to connect to the relevant gateway with ssh and enter that command in expert mode.
SmartConsole CLI cannot be used here.
Start here for MAB Reverse Proxy functionality: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk110348
However, if it’s a single website you want to provide access to, you should be able to do it with a NAT rule versus configuring Reverse Peoxy.

Reverse Proxy is for when there are multiple servers available via different URIs using the same IP.
For a single server, you can use a NAT rule like:
- Original: Any
- Destination : x.x.x.x (public ip)
- Original Service : https
- Translate Source : Original
- Translate Dest : z.z.z.z (local ip)
- Translate Service : 443

To be more specific, my requirement is to host a BWAPP server on an ubuntu machine and configure the firewall public IP address to redirect the traffic coming from a WAN towards the BWAPP server. Furthermore after successfully configuring this the requirement is also to enable HTTPS inspection for this. Is there a compulsion to use Reverse Proxy or can you please elaborate a bit on how a NAT rule can be established to do this.
