## Behind a proxy (TLS, etc.)
!!! warning
If you are running ntfy behind a proxy, you must set the `behind-proxy` flag. Otherwise, all visitors are
[rate limited](#rate-limiting) as if they are one.
It may be desirable to run ntfy behind a proxy, e.g. so you can provide TLS certificates using Let's Encrypt using certbot,
or simply because you'd like to share the ports (80/443) with other services. Whatever your reasons may be, there are a
few things to consider.
### Rate limiting
If you are running ntfy behind a proxy (e.g. nginx, HAproxy or Apache), you should set the `behind-proxy`
flag. This will instruct the [rate limiting](#rate-limiting) logic to use the `X-Forwarded-For` header as the primary
identifier for a visitor, as opposed to the remote IP address. If the `behind-proxy` flag is not set, all visitors will
be counted as one, because from the perspective of the ntfy server, they all share the proxy's IP address.

```
# Tell ntfy to use "X-Forwarded-For" to identify visitors
behind-proxy: true
```
### TLS/SSL
ntfy supports HTTPS/TLS by setting the `listen-https` [config option](#config-options). However, if you
are behind a proxy, it is recommended that TLS/SSL termination is done by the proxy itself (see below).
