Lets setup Cyberpanel with any port at all (i.e No 8090 or 8443) If you are good with SSH Terminal open command line and navigate to /usr/local/lsws/conf/httpd_config.conf and add the following code, be sure to change the domain to yours and your port to the current one on your cyberpanel.

extprocessor cyberpanel {
  type                    proxy
  address                 https://panel.smartzy.org:8443
  maxConns                100
  pcKeepAliveTimeout      60
  initTimeout             60
  retryTimeout            0
  respBuffer              0
}

Go to Cyberpanel Dashboard simply navigate to Websites >>> List Websites >>> Select your host domain and click on Manage, then locate and click on Rewrite Rules once it opens, add the following code:

REWRITERULE ^(.*)$ HTTP://cyberpanel/$1 [P]
