Reverse proxy behind MX appliance

[idknow]

Hello all,

Have anyone ever used a reverse proxy behind a Meraki MX (mx in routed mode).

I have to make an inside server available from the internet by using a reverse proxy and not sure how to make it work, the architecture would look like this i guess:

Do you know where i can find some information on the different steps of configuring the mx to make it work please regarding port forwarding, nat, rules etc...?

Regards,

Ludovic

Thank you for the documentation, it really helps 🙏

If it is just a proxy server (no security software running on it) - then don't bother using it.  Instead of setting up the NAT/PAT on the MX to the reverse proxy, point it directly at the server you want to give access to.

Yes, but unfortunately the customer is asking for a reverse proxy in a DMZ like in the picture i've shown above, and then the traffic would be forwarded to the backend web server

He already asked for a dns public registry of an URL  xxx.xxxx.com

so i guess the idea is to map this url to the public IP address of the provider router and then port-forwarding the traffic on the MX towards the reverse proxy, am i missing something because that seems simple , what do you think ?
