**A:** PlexPy uses CherryPy as it's web server, and CherryPy includes support for reverse proxies. However, you may need to locate your plexpy `config.ini` file and toggle the value `http_proxy` to `1`. You should also ensure that your proxy web server (e.g. nginx or apache) is sending the standard `X-` headers to CherryPy. For nginx, the configuration would look like this: **A:** PlexPy uses CherryPy as it's web server, and CherryPy includes support for reverse proxies.

You should also ensure that your proxy web server (e.g. nginx or apache) is sending the standard `X-` headers to CherryPy. For **nginx**, the configuration would look like this:
``` ```
# Standard proxying headers # Standard proxying headers

If you are having issues with an HTTPS-terminating proxy setup (e.g. `Internet--->https://Nginx--->http://plexpy`), you should ensure that your proxy web server is also including these two SSL-specific `X-` headers If you are having issues with an HTTPS-terminating proxy setup (e.g. `Internet--->https://nginx--->http://plexpy`), you should ensure that your proxy web server is also including these two SSL-specific `X-` headers:
``` ```
# Used by Cherry-Py (different versions look for different headers) # SSL proxying headers
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
