Boring proxy behind reverse proxy?

boringproxy
1

Hi.
I have a dilemma regarding boringproxy, I have it running on my vps which has a tunnel to my home server.
But if I want to host a website on my vps, how do I go about it? So far I have done this using nginx proxy manager (docker), but I can’t use it because ports 80 and 443 are occupied by boringproxy.
Can I use boringproxy only as a ‘reverse proxy’ like nginx Proxy Manager? So for example the php webserver is also installed on the vps, but goes out via boringproxy. Is that possible?
Or can I run boringproxy via nginx Proxy Manager? There is the function -behind-proxy.

Many thanks for any help.

Hi @TechGrief, your best bet is probably to run boringproxy behind NPM. I believe others have gotten this working if you search the forums, but it’s not functionality I ever needed so it’s not as well tested.

At the very least you’ll need to change the ports you’re using, and set -behind-proxy as you mention.
