Secure Websocket (wss / TLS ) behind router failing

Secure Websocket (wss / TLS ) behind router failing

I just want to preface this question by saying that I have most of this
working but that I've been scouring the internet for days trying to find
documentation for this one piece of the puzzle.
Here's what I'm doing:
Router port forwarding (80,443,8080) -> Laptop (DHCP) -> stunnel (443 ->
8080) -> websocket (8080)
Router port forwarding:
TCP 80, 443, 8080 -> 192.168.1.x
Laptop firewall:
sudo ipfw add allow tcp from any to any 443
Stunnel:
[https]
accept = 443
connect = 8080
Websocket binding:
('0.0.0.0', 8080);
Client:
wss://hostname:443/
Here's what's working so far:
When connecting from my computer: Both secure wss and non secure websocket
connections succeed. The websocket reports that I've connected from
127.0.0.1.
What is not working:
When connecting from my phone via 3g (outside my router): Non secure
works, secure does not.
Chrome, Safari, nor Firefox provide any debugging for Websocket
connections so I have no idea what the problem is.
Any help is appreciated.
