I have two servers running on port 3000. I’d like to have the load balancer to run on HTTPS and forward the request to those servers on port 3000.
I’m trying to setup a load balancer but not sure about the forwarding rules I should use because the UI of forwarding rules has limitation.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
What I would usually do is the following:
- Add a port 443 / HTTPS rule on the Load Balancer to forward the traffic to port 3000 on your specific Droplet where you have your node service running on.
- Then create a HTTP to HTTPS redirect on your Load Balancer as described here:
That way if someone visits your site over HTTP they will first be redirected to HTTPS and the Load Balancer will handle the SSL termination.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Bobby
