Hello!

Do you have any experience using a VM with DirectAdmin and a GCP Passthrough Load Balancer?

I recently set up a new VM at GCP, and it works perfectly without the load balancer.

I can connect to the VM when using the Load Balancer with Passthrough (TCP ports 80 & 443), but it will not resolve to any of the sites. For example: If I use www.mysite1.com, or www.mysite2.com, I can see that the "webserver is functioning normally." Without the LB, it works perfectly as it should.
(Side note: I also tried allowing All Ports just to experiment)

I was going to use the load balancer for added protection, so I hope one of you might have an idea. Or should I scrap the Load Balancer and go direct to the VM, provided I limit the exposure of the VM through the Firewall?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help!
