Hi,
I am hosting OpenWebUI server on my home lab and Ollama on my Windows PC(because of better HW) using docker desktop. I installed desktop app on Windows PC, and easily connected using https and my domain. When i installed app on Mac, it cannot be reached.
Additional facts:

I use the same version on Win and Mac.
SSL cert is not self-signed (Let's encrypt + cloudflare)
Direct connection on lan works on Mac and Win
On Mac i can access WebUI using browser and curl
As proxy i use NGINX Proxy Manager( Caching, blocking common exploits and Websocket support is on )
Connecting on windows still work
Does anyone can help?

I'm experiencing the same issue on Debian based Linux. Open-WebUI v0.11.0 Docker hosted on an Ubuntu server, and exposed to the internet using https over Cloudflared Tunnel.
