Reverse Proxy Setup

If you have a custom setup, in which your WordPress install is on a subpath (e.g. /blog/), you can easily redirect the traffic to our nodes, using a reverse proxy. If your server uses Nginx, the following configuration is necessary:

location /blog/ {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

    proxy_pass http://geo1.presslabs.net;

    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_buffering off;
    chunked_transfer_encoding off;
}

Using this setup, you won’t benefit from our edge network and we can’t guarantee 100% uptime, but you’ll benefit from the other features we’re offering.
