Can't get HTTPS / port 443 to work for reverse-proxy

Following up and consolidating solution. This is a router bug, nothing related to Caddy. After doing workaround steps for the know issue with Google Fiber’s GFRG300 box found on reddit, all is working now. If anyone has Google Fiber 2 Gig, or is using the 2 Gig GFRG300 router with any plan, do the following:

  1. Log in to fiber.google.com and access the router settings
  2. Select the router, visit Advanced > Admin
  3. Reset the network settings
  4. Restart the router from the same screen (Or unplug for a bit then plug back in if it doesn’t go through)
  5. Once back up, redo your reserved IP and port settings
  6. Wait a bit and all should be open
  7. If it happens again in the future, which has been reported to happen, then rinse and repeat, and hope the bug is fixed
