Nginx As Reverse Proxy IPV6 to IPV4 Website

Like many other reverse proxying mechanism, the configuration is quite simple. All we need is just website that’s lived in ipv4, and Nginx with IPv6 capabled network.

        server {
                listen       [::]:80;  # your server's public IP address
                server_name  www.example.com;      # your domain name
                access_log  /var/log/nginx/www.example.com-access.log  main;

                location / {
                        proxy_pass         http://www.example.com/; # live webiste on IPV4
                        proxy_redirect     off;
                        proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
                        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
                        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

                }
        }

  1. Hello,

    For Windows users, there is the Fastream IQ Proxy Server (http://www.iqproxyserver.com) to have a good GUI and many features as nginx offers, with support. Costs fraction of what M$ Forefront costs…

    Best Regards,

    George
