This is fine, but not enough for my load balancing needs.

sni host != host
I am so skeptical~

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

Your problem is that the upstream server returns 403. As it's up to upstream server to decide when to return 403, so you may want to contact Cloudflare for support.

Note that configuring proxying to https backends may require some effort. In particular:

  • There is no upstream certificate verification by default. You have to use proxy_ssl_verify to switch it on, and configure proxy_ssl_trusted_certificate accordingly, as well as proxy_ssl_verify_depth.
  • By default nginx doesn't use SNI in connections to backends. To switch it on, use proxy_ssl_server_name.
  • The name as used for the Host header, SNI, and certificate verification is from the proxy_pass directive. By using the proxy_set_header directive you change the header, but not the name used for SNI and certificate verification. The latter name can be changed by the proxy_ssl_name directive.

If you have further questions about configuring nginx, please use the support options available.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
