I am trying to redirect domain.com (http://) to https://domain.com but when I set it up under web redirect it is ignoring my rules.

Redirect from domain.com to domain.com will not work because once the redirect is set up, domain.com will be pointing to Dynu web redirect server. You should set up the redirect for http to https requests on your web server.

If you are unable to configure the web server, you may be able to set up a redirect from domain.com to https://www.domain.com.

this is an example of how i setup a vhost on apache 2.4+ with SSL redirection (assuming we use Let's Encrypt).


..VirtualHost *:80..
        ServerName 		your.dynu.host
        ServerAlias 		your.dynu.host
        ServerAdmin 		your@email.host
        DocumentRoot 		/folder/of/website
        ErrorLog 		/folder/of/website/logs/error.log
        CustomLog 		/folder/of/website/logs/access.log combined
	LogLevel                warn
        Redirect                permanent / https://your.dynu.host/
../VirtualHost..

..VirtualHost *:443..
        ServerName              your.dynu.host
        ServerAlias             your.dynu.host
        ServerAdmin             your@email.host
        DocumentRoot            /folder/of/website
        ErrorLog                /folder/of/website/logs/error.log
        CustomLog               /folder/of/website/logs/access.log combined
        LogLevel                warn
        SSLEngine               on
        SSLCertificateFile      /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.dynu.host/fullchain.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile   /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.dynu.host/privkey.pem
        SSLProtocol             all -SSLv2 +SSLv3
        SSLCipherSuite          ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
        SSLHonorCipherOrder     on
        SSLCompression          off
../VirtualHost..


Obviously you need change the your.dynu.host and your@email.host and remove the ".." element parts for your settings, the bbcode code-segment wouldn't allow me to use > symbols for some reason.

This looks correct. Following is a simpler example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your.dynu.host
Redirect 301 / https://your.dynu.host
</VirtualHost>
