Please completely fill out the help topic template. What’s in your logs? What do you see when you make a request with curl -v?

[Connor_Morse]

"status": 421

Your debug logs show that your upstream app responds with status 421. Sounds like this is a misconfiguration of your upstream app: "421: Misdirected Request" when connecting remotely · transmission/transmission · Discussion #1941 · GitHub, not a problem with Caddy in particular.
