Disclosure

Transparency about links and funding, per FTC guidance.

This site is free. Some outbound links — for example to VPS / hosting providers, CDNs, monitoring tools, or courses — may be affiliate links: if you sign up through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to tools we'd actually use, and a commission never changes what we recommend.

Nginx is free, open-source software (originally by Igor Sysoev, now maintained by F5); this site is an independent community reference, not affiliated with or endorsed by F5 or the Nginx project.

No warranty. These config snippets are provided as-is. Several change how your server accepts and routes traffic — proxying, TLS, redirects, access control — so a mistake can take a site offline or expose it. Always run nginx -t before reloading, change one thing at a time, and test on staging first. You are responsible for what you deploy.
