Configuring a Plesk website as a reverse proxy for the control panel

Configuring a Plesk website as a reverse proxy for the control panel

  • Login to Plesk
  • Select your domain
  • Select Apache & nginx Settings
  • Uncheck Proxy mode
  • Click on Apply (this is important before continuing)
  • Set "Additional nginx directives" to the following. Replace x.x.x.x:8881 with your control panel's IP and secure port.
location / {
    proxy_pass https://x.x.x.x:8881;
    proxy_redirect off;
    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-Host $server_name;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    client_max_body_size 0;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_request_buffering off;
    proxy_buffering off;
}

If Last login shows the incorrect IP

  • Go to servers > master > website settings.
  • Set Web Proxy IP to the IP that is shown.
  • Set Web Proxy IP Header to X-Real-IP.
  • Save and select Tools > Restart monitor.
  • After the control panel has been restarted you need to log out and log in twice so it shows your real IP.
