Configure HFS3 to expose it in https with funnel of tailscale. Proxy issue?

BEFORE

• Are you using a reverse-proxy, like nginx? No
  • Check if your problem is caused by your proxy, try without it. A proxy is detected, but I don't know why

Need to run HFS3 on localhost only and on one of these three ports : 443, 8443, 10000 (funnel limitation).

Screenshots

what is funnel?

the message you see is explained here https://github.com/rejetto/hfs/wiki/Proxy-warning#more

[rejetto]

sorry, you specified "tailscale".
if that happens it means that "funnel" is acting like a proxy.
i see nothing wrong in hfs.

[rejetto]

the limit on the ports seems to be on the "outer" port, not the one you use for hfs.
in this page they use port 3000, for example

"i see nothing wrong in hfs." OK Thanks!

In funnel manual : "Funnel can only listen on ports 443, 8443, and 10000"
I guess like you that it means from outside...

But I tried using HFS3 on 80 and get problems: the main of them is that the url is not accessible from outside only locally.

Like you I see in the manual they use port 3000, so why these issues with 80?

tailscale serve --bg 80
Available within your tailnet:

https://fdl-mn-ryz9mis.tailcXXXX.ts.net/
|-- proxy http://127.0.0.1:80

Serve started and running in the background.
To disable the proxy, run: tailscale serve --https=443 off

c:\Program Files\Tailscale>tailscale funnel enable
background configuration already exists, use tailscale funnel --https=443 off to remove the existing configuration

c:\Program Files\Tailscale>tailscale serve --https=443 off

c:\Program Files\Tailscale>tailscale funnel enable
error: failed apply web serve: only localhost or 127.0.0.1 proxies are currently supported

try tailscale funnel --help for usage info

Thanks for your reply.
Have a good day.

i'm sorry, but i don't know tailscale so i can't help.
Since this doesn't seem a problem about hfs, i'm converting this "issue" into a "discussion", instead of closing it, so other people may still reply.

consider that if hfs told you it detected a proxy, it means that AT LEAST one request proxied by tailscale has passed through. That's the way it is detected.
