"Invalid URL" error when creating webhook for BitBucket cloud

Question

I am trying to create a Jenkins webhook to a Jenkins URL and getting an "Invalid URL" error

http://<URL accessible only via a VPN>/bitbucket-hook/

Can anyone please confirm that this is caused by an inaccessible URL because of the way this is blocked from outside access ? We can then work toward opening up the firewall for access to Bitbucket Cloud.

Are there any better ways to access Bitbucket webhooks ? There is a pre-configured webhook - https://bitbucket-prlinks.us-east-1.prod.public.atl-paas.net/webhook/pr that I can see when I click on "Webhooks" but I am not sure how I can call it in Jenkins.

I am sure we need to setup some proxy to expose Jenkins url to Bitbucket , is any one out there able to solve this issue please guide us even I am facing same issue

How safe/risky is this for other experiences that people have had ? We have not opened up our network to public IPs to reach into our infrastructure before.

Bitbucket Cloud is only available on the public Internet, so it can only send webhooks through the public Internet. You will need to modify your firewall.

As for https://bitbucket-prlinks.us-east-1.prod.public.atl-paas.net/webhook/pr - that's the destination of that webhook, not the source. Don't call that from Jenkins.
