I have a small lab setup on docker lab server where I have several containers. I wanted to set up a proxy with Traefik, but I stuck on one thing.
Looks like routing works fine but I am having err_connection_refused when I try to access routed services by the browser.
It works fine with the curl command.
Using DNSMasq to manage records - traefik for proxy.
Below docker-compose files for traefik and test container which I am using for testing the proxy.

I dont understand why curling works fine e.g.:
curl -H Host:whoami.lab http://192.168.0.150
