antHill is a central account, hosted on Antsle which is used to link ownership of your physical servers to a single profile. antHill allows you to restore backups between servers and also is where you manage your subscriptions, or can get support.
Where is the IPMI password on Antsle?
Some Antsle one D models have a custom IPMI password that you can find on a sticker above the IPMI port on the back of your Antsle.

Does Antlet need a bridged NIC?

Can nginx forward to antlet?
The second option allows nginx to connect to the proper antlet based on the URL in the header of the request. This is desireable because you can forward traffic ( at the router) for multiple sites to one IP address, the private IP address of the Antsle. The certificate files are installed and handled by nginx on the edgeLinux OS.
What IP address does Antsle use?
If working on the same local network as the antsle, the domain name must resolve to the private IP of the antsle. If accessing remotely from the public internet, the domain name must resolve to your gateway/router public IP address and the router must forward port 443 to the antsle's private IP address.
