Hello Everyone,

here is the situation:

i have multiple VMs running a couple of services such as opnsense and
PiHole and others.

I have installed Nginx proxy Manager in an attempt to access the
services with a domain name not using there respective IPs.

Any help on creating a rule on Opnsense to forward the domain names to
Nginx?

Thanks

Do you want internal or external access or both via domain name?

In opnsense.

Services -> Unbound DNS -> Overrides

Set up a host override pointing to your NPM.

Select your new override and create aliases for services.

Configure NPM with your forwards.

Unbound will forward to requests to NPM which will forward you to your
service.

Hope that helps, on mobile so short reply. Cheers.

I want only internal, since the services are not accessible from
outside my network

You need to do the dns rewrites whereever you are sending all your dns
requests. Since you are using pihole, look up how to do wildcard dns
rewrites in pihole.
