How to specify the port in the hosts file?

Question

linux

I have a special stub on my VPN server (WireGuard) that runs on Apache2. Apache opens by internal private ip address on port 88, since port 80 is occupied by Pi-Hole. How can I make it so that for example: when you go to the site "google.com" not the site itself opens, but a stub? Is it possible to specify the following form of entry in the hosts file: 172.11.123.3:88 google.com www.google.com ?

Answer 2

No, you cannot do this in the host file.
most likely you need to redirect the traffic with a firewall or perhaps nginx proxy

Answer 3

That won't work. The hosts file is about dns and there is no concept of ports in dns.
You need to put your stub on port 80. In order for it to get along with pi-hole, it is necessary to scatter them over virtual hosts with different domains instead of ports.
Well, or transplant pi-hole to a non-standard port.
