Set up Nginx's GeoIP module for country detection without recompiling — modern database sources, country-based routing, access control, and passing location data to PHP.

Use Nginx as a reverse proxy to securely access your Jellyfin media server from anywhere — with SSL, security headers, WebSocket support, and dynamic DNS for residential connections.

Catch any subdomain at the DNS level, configure Nginx to accept it, and route it dynamically in PHP — with modern wildcard SSL, provider availability notes, and realistic use cases for 2026.

WordPress search queries can hammer your database and bring down a site under heavy load. Use Nginx rate limiting to cap search requests before they reach PHP.

Use Nginx's limit_req module to protect your site from HTTP floods and brute-force attacks — with real-world examples for static pages, PHP handlers, and login endpoints.

Basic authentication in Nginx is a quick way to gate a directory, an admin area, or an entire staging site behind a username and password. It's not a replacement for a full login system, but for internal tools, dev environments, or adding a second layer in front of something already protected, it does the job with almost no overhead.
