Trouble configuring React+Flask Webapp using nginx and gunicorn

[Zypherose]

Sorry if this is a terrible question but I don't know where else to turn. I have spent all day trying to have gunicorn bind to 127.0.0.1. So to start from the Top. I am making a website with a React frontend and a Flask backend all of this is running on centos7. I am using Nginx to manage the traffic I have it set up for SSL. I am using gunicorn to run Flask for production. Currently, I have this working where I have Nginx routing the traffic to React and then having the requests sent to gunicorn bound on 0.0.0.0:8000. In order to get this to work, I had to use 2 certificates one for each port. I was reading that binding gunicorn to an internal port would make it so I don't need the second certificate. When I try and run gunicorn with out the certs bound to localhost i get this error from React. 

 

Error: Network Error followed by ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED to 127.0.0.1:8000/auth/login

 

I have CORS enabled on the flask end and I'm using Blueprints. Here is my Nginx configurations

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name my_server_name;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

        listen       443 ssl http2;
        listen       [::]:443 ssl http2;

        }

        location /api/ {

        }

        location /auth/ {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }

        error_page 404 /404.html;
            location = /40x.html {
        }

        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
            location = /50x.html {
        }

    }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
