Im using FreeBSD and jails. I have my postfix on host, and main http server in jail. When I set in jail (192.168.1.2): server { \<------\>listen 80; \<------\>server\_name [www.poczta.a.org](http://www.poczta.a.org) [poczta.a.org](http://poczta.a.org); \<------\>access\_log /var/log/nginx/poczta.a.org-access.log; \<------\>location / { \<------\>\<------\> proxy\_pass [http://188.212.129.X](http://188.212.129.X); \<------\>\<------\> proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr; \<------\>\<------\> proxy\_set\_header Host $http\_host; \<------\>} } 188.212.129.X it is my host IP. I must set nginx on host, because without this my www mail client (roundcube) dont working. I cant install postfix in jail. How to fix it?

yes - don’t use jails at all. nginx is pretty secure, as is postfix… 😛 ---

I’m not too familiar with BSD or BSD jails, but it sounds like a network configuration issue rather than an Nginx issue. I’d first make sure that 188.212.129.X is actually reachable from inside the jail. Then make sure that whatever you are proxying to on the public IP is actually listening there on port 80. Then make sure you aren’t filtering packets to that 188.212.129.X:80 or that you at least have an exception for 192.168.1.2. Overall, I’m pretty confused as to what you are trying to accomplish by proxying from a jail with a private IP address to a service that apparently resides on a public IP address, since you could simply bypass the proxy and access the public IP directly.
