Thanks, do you have also egress traffic source natted (not using the node IP ?)

Answer 7 · 2020-09-21T14:22:24.000Z

Hi @kifeo I have my router pointing to a my nginx-ingress externalIP on port 80 and 443

Does that answer your question?

Thanks @onedr0p
I think what I was looking for is https://docs.projectcalico.org/networking/workloads-outside-cluster
I will try it in the next days

Answer 9 · 2020-09-21T15:15:54.000Z

@kifeo can you explain a bit more what that does? I am not following the documentation lol

@onedr0p Sorry for the late reply, I reverted to MetalLB as Calico was peered but not advertising the ExternalIPs, so I did not check the implementation of IPPools, which is maybe was I was looking for.
