Please i would like to ask, when you pasted the IP address of the load balancers front end, if you did it without adding that ip.io(i think) would the page just show? That is is the page showing this is just a test content.
Hi The IP of the LB is added with the combination of nip.io to convert it to a DNS name and get the GCP managed SSL certificate issued.. The page would show if you also included an HTTP frontend (port 80) in the LB configuration and had it also listen on that port, but if you only used HTTPS (443) then you need to get an SSL certificate. If you supply your own certificate then you can configure it with only the IP, but because I did not want to do that/wasn't able to do that, my easiest option is to just use the LB IP with nip.io!
