# HTTPS Proxy

Quick steps on how to setup a local NGINX proxy with self-signed certificate.

### Create self-signed cert

```bash
» openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out yourdomain.com.key
» openssl req -new -key yourdomain.com.key -out yourdomain.com.csr
» openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in yourdomain.com.csr -signkey yourdomain.com.key -out yourdomain.com.crt
```

### Create proxy site

```bash
» sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com
server {
    listen 7575 ssl;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /home/void/cert/yourdomain.com.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /home/void/cert/yourdomain.com.key;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4488;  # Forward to local HTTP server
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

» sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
```

### Test and run

```bash
» sudo nginx -t
» sudo systemctl restart nginx
```

### Debug

```bash
» curl -v https://yourdomain.com
» sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log /var/log/nginx/error.log
» sudo tcpdump -i lo port 80
```

All incoming traffic to `https://yourdomain.com:7575` should now be forwarded to `http://127.0.0.1:4488`.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://0xpthree.gitbook.io/notes/development/linux/https-proxy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
