What does it actually do? When it’s on, I get a redirecting error when trying to connect to my nextcloud at cloud.example.com, but with it off, it seems like I can’t connect to NC using http anyway? Am I misunderstanding what it does?

Thanks!

    If my understanding of how “force SSL” works for most proxies, it just simply issues a HTTP 300 redirect message for all http traffic coming in on port 80. It then sends everything to port 443 https.

    Do you get a 502 when you try to connect with the force SSL turned off? It might me less of an issue with SSL and more that your proxy is not pointing to the right host / port of your nextcloud server.

      When I connect with it off, I am able to connect. If I use https://cloud… It connects, when I use http://cloud… The address bar changes to https and connects like normal.

      It just feels weird using it with force SSL off, as if even though I’m always connecting with https I’m still leaking passwords
