Hi, and thanks for developing Ntfy, it's just great.

🐞 Describe the bug
I've recently moved my Ntfy instance behind Traefik for automating TLS stuff, adjusted the configuration for Ntfy, and notifications seem to work just as before on the web app. However, when subscribing to the server on the Android app, I get a timeout.

💻 Components impacted
Android app.

🔮 Additional context

What works

From my phone, open the web app on my domain name, which though Traefik redirects to the Ntfy server. Things work.
From my phone, and from the Android app, connect directly to the Ntfy server (bypassing Traefik, using a different port opened by Docker). Things work (but only on insecure http connection, since Traefik handles certificates).

What does not work
From my phone, and from the Android app, connect to the Ntfy server through Traefik. I get a timeout error.

Thanks.

Have you tried changing the connection type in the Android app? Settings > Advanced > Connection protocol

Switch it to the other and see if that fixes things

Somehow this did not immediately solve the issue, but after rebooting my phone subscribing and notifications work as expected. I'll close this for now, thanks for the advice.
