READ THE DOCS

Reverse Proxy Manager is 2501's specialty for nginx, Traefik and similar reverse proxies: it fixes certificate, access control, redirection and routing problems, and confirms each fix is live before it reports back.

Everything behind a reverse proxy depends on it, so small problems are loud: an expired certificate, a looping redirect, a blocked address, a site serving the wrong content. The fix is usually one line; the hard part is making it without dropping anyone's traffic.

What 2501 does

The Reverse Proxy specialty takes these requests from your ticketing system. It renews self-signed and Let's Encrypt certificates and checks the new one is really being served. It adjusts access rules once it understands what the current ones allow, fixes redirects and loops, and corrects routing to the servers behind the proxy, escalating when a server is genuinely down rather than misrouted. Each change is the smallest that solves the ticket, and it is validated before it takes effect.

Scope map of 2501's Reverse Proxy Manager: on the sites your proxy serves it renews self-signed and Let's Encrypt certificates, adjusts access rules and fixes redirects and loops, and it corrects routing to the servers behind it; a server that is genuinely down, corporate authority certificates, changes affecting several tenants, code or DNS fixes and anything that looks deliberate go to a person, and no certificate or key is removed before its replacement is ready.

You stay in control

You choose the level, per specialty: investigate only, act after a person confirms, or act on its own within your rules.
Some calls stay with a person: certificates from your corporate authority, fixes that need code or DNS changes, changes affecting several tenants on one proxy, and anything that looks deliberate, such as a maintenance page.
Nothing is removed before its replacement is ready: no certificate or key is deleted without one, and destructive commands can be blacklisted outright.
On-prem, cloud or hybrid: 2501 runs wherever you do. On-prem, no data leaves your network.

Frequently asked

Which proxies does it cover? nginx, Traefik and similar reverse proxies.

Will it restart the proxy? Only if the proxy has stopped, or in the rare case a change needs a restart. Otherwise it reloads, which keeps connections open.

Problems it handles

Each page is one kind of ticket, and how this specialty handles it within the limits you set.

A reverse proxy answering with an error because it still sends traffic to an old address serves the site again after 2501 corrects the route and applies it with a reload, keeping live connections open

Problem

Reverse proxy cannot reach the server behind it

The proxy is up but the site behind it is not. How 2501 tells a server that is really down from a routing mistake on nginx or Traefik, and fixes only the mistake.
