Hello All,
I’am a rookie with nginx configuration and would be glad if someone
could
help me.
Can I use nginx as a normal proxy (not reverse proxy) for an internal
application to the internet.
For exmple:
I have a application “XYZ” located in my internal network. This
application
need’s secure access to an official website in the internet over ssl
(https://www.example.com). I would connect this application to the
official
website over nginx-proxy located in the DMZ. The nginx-proxy should
listen
to port 7443 and forward the request to the official website
(https://www.example.com).
My questions:
Can i use the nginx proxy in that way described above?
Can anyone post me an example-configuration?
Is it necessary to configure a ssl-certificate on the nginx-proxy and
set
the ssl-parameter to “on”?
Thanxs all for support me!
Best regards
Jürgen
