Important notices Before you add a new report, we ask you kindly to acknowledge the following:

• [x] I have read the contributing guide lines at https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

• [x] When the request is meant for an existing plugin, I've added its name to the title.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I cannot set proxy_redirect off via GUI - using hooks for custom configuration is out of the picture for me, as I configure a lot via GUI and I would overwrite the custom parameter every time i refresh. The reason I need to turn it off is because if the HTTP server presented port is the same as the upstream server presented port - thus NginX cuts out the port from the URI towards the upstream server. I need the upstream to be spoken to with the port in the URI, though.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. I'd like thus to be able to turn off proxy_redirect via GUI.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Another probable solution would be to make it possible to set custom parameters via proxy_set_header like proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;

Additional context None so far.

Hi! Are you sure that proxy_redirect is the right solution for this? Could you please describe in more detail the problem of port number cutting with an example? (afaik proxy_redirect off only stops proxy_redirect action from uplevel settings. and proxy_redirect is not set on http or server level?)

If I understand correctly, this shouldn't be a problem, since the directives added via the hooks don't disappear after GUI changes.
