@ -72,8 +72,8 @@ The configuration file contains the following sections:
- `temp_path`, string. Defines the path for temporary files such as those used for atomic uploads or file pipes. If you set this option you must make sure that the defined path exists, is accessible for writing by the user running SFTPGo, and is on the same filesystem as the users home directories otherwise the renaming for atomic uploads will become a copy and therefore may take a long time. The temporary files are not namespaced. The default is generally fine. Leave empty for the default.
- `proxy_protocol`, integer. Support for [HAProxy PROXY protocol](https://www.haproxy.org/download/1.8/doc/proxy-protocol.txt). If you are running SFTPGo behind a proxy server such as HAProxy, AWS ELB or NGINX, you can enable the proxy protocol. It provides a convenient way to safely transport connection information such as a client's address across multiple layers of NAT or TCP proxies to get the real client IP address instead of the proxy IP. Both protocol versions 1 and 2 are supported. If the proxy protocol is enabled in SFTPGo then you have to enable the protocol in your proxy configuration too. For example, for HAProxy, add `send-proxy` or `send-proxy-v2` to each server configuration line. The PROXY protocol is supported for SSH/SFTP and FTP/S. The following modes are supported:
- 0, disabled
- 1, enabled. If the upstream IP is not allowed to send a proxy header the header be ignored. Using this mode does not mean that we can accept connections with and without the proxy header. We always try to read the proxy header and we ignore it if the upstream IP is not allowed to send a proxy header. Set `proxy_skipped` if you want to allow some IP/networks to connect without sending a proxy header
- 2, required. If the upstream IP is not allowed to send a proxy header the connection will be rejected (unless the upstream IP is listed in `proxy_skipped`)
- 1, enabled. If the upstream IP is not allowed to send a proxy header, the header will be ignored. Using this mode does not mean that we can accept connections with and without the proxy header. We always try to read the proxy header and we ignore it if the upstream IP is not allowed to send a proxy header. Set `proxy_skipped` if you want to allow some IP/networks to connect without sending a proxy header
- 2, required. If the upstream IP is not allowed to send a proxy header, the connection will be rejected (unless the upstream IP is listed in `proxy_skipped`)
- `proxy_allowed`, list of IP addresses and IP ranges allowed to send the proxy header:
- If `proxy_protocol` is set to 1 and we receive a proxy header from an IP that is not in the list then the connection will be accepted and the header will be ignored
- If `proxy_protocol` is set to 2 and we receive a proxy header from an IP that is not in the list then the connection will be rejected
