Hey there, I am successfully running traefik in docker and able to access my deployed apps with defining labels to apps and then accessing sites with duckdns . I have two problems acme couldn't achieve SSL certificate so I achieved with Lego acme but how to add those certificates with traefik And I am successfully accessing those app with those duckdns domain from outside and local machine But I am not able to access site direct from localhost so I can manage site localy it is giving 404 page not found error And if I add my domain example [abc.com](http://abc.com) to localhost or 127.0.0.1 in hosts file then also it is not working But curl -H host:abc.com [https://127.0.0.1](https://127.0.0.1) can access site So how can I tell my browser to access that domain with localhost on local pc ? ---

Hey! I would consider trying a simple DNS wildcard service that maps to any IP address e.g. [nip.io](http://nip.io). With that service, you can create to have the following records such as: `foo.127.0.0.1.nip.io` or `bar.127.0.0.1.nip.io`. Hope that helps. ---

@jakubhajek Yes i got it but how to access those sites locally What I mean is i can access portainer directly with localhost:9000 with direct access to that local port Now if i loose internet than also i can operate that site now I can understand that traefik is working with sender's queried web address when requesting so it is giving assigned web app with that address but for that i have to access to internet now if i want to access that site locally then also i have to provide that adress to access because i didnt opened port for portainer to work with traefik so if i am accessing from pc on which traefik and portainer installed how can i directly access like using localhost sites with open port ? ---

I.e like how i curl accessed site [abc.com](http://abc.com) from 127.0.0.1 with host adress provided ? Can i do same with web browser ? Like traefik redirect me to that site on 127.0.0.1 if i am accessing site from local pc on which they both are installed
