What is NGINX?

NGINX is a high-performance web server and reverse proxy used for load balancing, caching, and securing connections. By integrating NGINX with Toolip, you can efficiently route traffic, optimize performance, and improve security by masking proxy domains.
Targeting search engines like Google, Bing, or Yandex requires a specialized proxy to ensure stable access and avoid blocks. Toolip’s Search Engine ISP Proxies are designed specifically for this, providing reliable performance where standard proxies may fail. If your proxy test isn’t working on search engines, switching to Search Engine ISP Proxies can resolve the issue.

How to Set Up Toolip With NGINX

1

Install NGINX

1. Install NGINX following the official installation guide. Ensure you’re using version 1.15.10 or higher.2. Check that your server’s IP is not whitelisted in Toolip to avoid conflicts.
2

Configure the NGINX Core Settings

1. Open the main NGINX configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
2. Update the following parameters:
  • Set worker_processes to auto for dynamic optimization.
  • Set worker_connections to 200 (or more, based on traffic load).
3. Add the following line at the end of the http section:
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
4. Save and close the file.Your updated nginx.conf should look like this:
worker_processes auto;
user www-data;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;
events {
    worker_connections 200;
}

http {
    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log combined;

    server {
        server_name localhost;
        listen 127.0.0.1:80;
        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    }

    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

Create a Proxy Configuration File

1. Create the directory for custom configurations:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
2. Create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/toolip.conf
3. Add the following configuration:
server {
    listen 24000-24100;
    location / {
        resolver 8.8.8.8;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:$server_port;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}
4. Save and close the file.

Restart NGINX

1. Apply the changes by restarting NGINX:
sudo service nginx restart
5

Test the Proxy Configuration

1. Verify the proxy connection by running:
curl --proxy http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:24000 "http://lumtest.com/myip.json" -v
(Replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with your actual server IP.)2. Expected response:
{
  "ip": "43.252.31.41",
  "country": "US",
  "asn": {
    "asnum": 207990,
    "org_name": "HostRoyale Technologies Pvt Ltd"
  },
  "geo": {
    "city": "Chicago",
    "region": "IL",
    "postal_code": "60602",
    "latitude": 41.8874,
    "longitude": -87.6318
  }
}

Monitor NGINX Traffic

1. To confirm NGINX is routing traffic properly, check your proxy manager logs.2. Ensure that the “sent from” IP matches your NGINX server’s IP address.
With Toolip successfully integrated into NGINX, your infrastructure is now optimized for secure proxy routing, domain masking, and load balancing. Whether you’re handling web scraping, SEO automation, or secure traffic management, this setup enhances performance and reliability.
