I installed an SSL certificate on my ktor server (Let’s Encrypt) and the HttpsRedirect to automatically switch to https calls instead of http. Is there a way to hide the port number from the url without having to use a reverse proxy?

What do you mean by hiding a port number?

If you visit http://audiobites.io you’ll see that you get redirected to https://audiobites.io:8443 I was wondering if it is possible when someone visits http://audiobites.io to be redirected to https://audiobites.io instead

Just use the default port 443.

worked like a charm. thanks!
