Hi @wacbm

Default port for HTTP is 80, so you can just change your port to 80, about how to change port number you can use the iis url rewrite modules.

You should install the URL Rewrite and the ARR (Application Request Routing) modules for IIS. Here are two links on how these can work together to create a reverse proxy to do what you want:

• Reverse Proxy with URL Rewrite v2 and Application Request Routing
• Setting up a Reverse Proxy using IIS, URL Rewrite and ARR
