Judy a hunch, but I wonder that if by enabling https it requires all statement calls to be https, and I am guessing the calls to your Ip are standard http.
that's a good point, didn't think of that. I never saw any kind of setting on Venstar's end to adjust any related settings (not surprised tbh). Maybe I can find something in HA to allow http calls for that device alone? I'm gonna look into that
If you're only accessing HA locally, enabling https with a self-signing certificate will cause annoyance like this. I recommend just disabling https. If you still need https, you can terminate it using another webserver like nginx so you can still access the HA instance directly via http.
yes, external termination is definitely ideal (I prefer https when possible as my browsers are set to reject http and it gets annoying with local stuff. plus I've got a local CA I use so it's not a lot of extra work to set up).
Thing is, I find HA a bit frustrating to configure, it's not like the other linux LXCs/VMs I run on my proxmox so I'm not super familiar with installing stuff outside of the HA OS in that container. is the process any different than running nginx on any other distro?
Ah you're using HA OS on proxmox? Maybe look into deploying nginx proxy manager with lxc: https://medium.com/@rar1871/nginx-installing-proxy-manager-in-lxc-v2-debian-d4d4c98109b1
