Comment on Help with reverse proxy architecture

  Oh yes, if they’re completely separate and the internal proxy can’t be reached from port forward that’s fine.

  I was stuck thinking about two chained proxies for some reason.

    I never specified, I think, and probably wasn’t too clear on it myself. Thanks for your insights, I’ll try to take them to my configuration now.

  The comment above is accurate how domain names can be passed to Nginx that would resolve to private IP addresses. But that doesn’t mean they need to exposed. Nginx has a listen directive that specifies what IPs are listened on. So If your Reserve Proxy has both a public IP and private IP. then the private services can have a a listen directive like this:

  server {
    # Whatever your proxy's private IP is
    listen 10.0.0.1;
    server_name my-private-service;
  }
  

  No matter what hostname is passed in, Nginx would only reply to requests that can reach the Nginx host at it’s private IP address.

    This is a good hint, I’m going to take a look at that. Thank you!
