I am running a Wordpress installation behind a WAF reverse proxy. The WAF virtual server is listening on 443 and redirects http traffic. We use a Let's Encrypt certificate.
The virtual server is also configured to rewrite HTML, cookies and to pass the host header.
The following issues occur:
- Wordpress configured with URL http://internal.server.ip => Not all links are rewritten resulting in an insecure website and missing content.
- Wordpress configured with URL https://www.my.url => Infinite 301 loop
So I am looking for answers to the following questions:
- What is the correct way to configure the wordpress URL (IP or URL, http or https)?
- What is the correct way to configure the virtual as well as the real webserver.
This post is discussing a seemingly similar issue. However I do not understand the difference between a "normal" host object and a DNS host object or how to create one.
