I sometime like to work in the quiet environs of the local library.  
They’ve recently blocked access to various ports, so I can’t ssh, sftp  
or  
even go to webmin which is usually at port 10000.

I understand I can have nginx proxy, say [example.com/admin](http://example.com/admin) to  
[example.com:10000](http://example.com:10000), but I’m wondering if anyone out there is currently  
doing this and are there any pitfalls I should watch out for on either  
the  
nginx or webmin side.

Currently _at_ the library so I can’t attempt any of this right now.  
Figured I’d send the email in case I might have some answers when I get  
home. 🙂
