Question

We are using the Teltonika device to provide internet connectivity to an IOT device in the field. The device is a Campbell Scientific CR300 Measurement and Control Datalogger (Link) (CR300).

The Teltonika device is configured to simply forward all requests to the CR300 which then responds.

This works perfectly for HTTP requests however the CR300 does not support https and so all https requests fail once they hit it [probably need to mention they can do self signed certs but the IP keeps changing].

We would like to configure the Teltonika to act as a reverse proxy, handling https encryption and decryption while using http between itself and the Datalogger.

We have noted that the Teltonika is capable of generating https certificates for SSL (Link) and it would appear that earlier models at least are capable of acting as reverse proxies (Link).

Could you clarify if this is indeed possible on the RUT955 model and the exact instructions to do so?

Hello,

One of the intended uses of Stunnel is of a reverse proxy. The solution provided in the referenced thread seems to be valid in current RutOS, except that you might need to download an Stunnel package, which can be done over the WebUI in Services -> Package manager section, or from packages page. 

Best regards,
