# Cached Reverse Proxy

Need cache and temp directories for cache

Following code should added below log_format directive in nginx.conf:

client_body_buffer_size  512k;
proxy_connect_timeout    5;
proxy_read_timeout       60;
proxy_send_timeout       5;
proxy_buffer_size        16k;
proxy_buffers            4 64k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 128k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 128k;
proxy_temp_path   /var/cache/nginx/temp;
proxy_cache_path  /var/cache/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=cache_one:500m inactive=7d max_size=30g;

# SSL

# Verify A .crt matches A .key

openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in server.crt | openssl md5
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in server.key | openssl md5

# Generating a .csr

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout $DOMAIN.key -out $DOMAIN.csr

# Concatenate Certificates

cat domain.crt intermediate.pem root.pem > domain.signed.crt

# Avoid using SHA-1 as key exchange method, use Diffie Hellman Ephemeral parameters.

Generating DHE key

openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 4096 # use 2048 if you are on a low-end-box.

Set Nginx to use DHE key-exchange

ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem;
