NGINX Proxy Configuration Guide

An NGINX reverse proxy sits in front of AMPS and forwards client connections to the appropriate backend transports, simplifying network routing, and providing a single entry point for AMPS traffic.

This guide covers SSL (tcps, wss) and non-SSL (tcp, ws) proxy setups, as well as the corresponding AMPS transport configuration. It also demonstrates how AMPS Clients that use TCP/SSL support connection through an HTTP proxy when the HTTP Preflight option is provided in the connection string.

For an overview of AMPS and instructions for setting up your development environment, refer to the Introduction to AMPS guide.

For additional information on accessing AMPS through a proxy, see the Using AMPS with a Proxy section.

For more information on HTTP Preflight, see the HTTP Preflight section in the AMPS User Guide.

For an overview of NGINX reverse proxy features, see the NGINX Reverse Proxy Admin Guide.

tip

This guide assumes that you have a development environment for configuring a reverse proxy (including sudo privileges), and access to an AMPS server.
