Hello and good day Everybody
I have a http website in a non https capable server located in the LAN side of a RV110. For security reasons I need that users from WAN side access my web page as a HTTPS even my server on the LAN side is simple HTTP.
It is possible that my Cisco RV110 convert a https requests from WAN side and redirects to the HTTP website on the LAN side by port forwarding or other method?
Regards,
Carlos

I think it would technically work, although I am not overly familiar with deploying Apache in such a role, looking at deployment notes for it though such a configuration appears to be supported.
If by single board computer you mean a Raspberry Pi or something similar, you need to carefully monitor session volume to ensure the limited resources available are not overloaded, but in a low traffic environment (e.g. IOT sensor) should work great.

If your webserver cannot be configured directly to support HTTPS (most support both simultaneously), you would need to install a reverse proxy (such as squid) which would terminate the TLS HTTPS connection, and forward the request to your HTTP server.

Thank you Eric.
Since the webserver is only http device server and I can not install anything else to this device, I think it could be a solution by installing a single board computer with apache server in the same LAN and configure it as a remote https reverse proxy for the http device. What do you think about this idea/solution?

Carlos
