How to listen on a range of ports in NGINX?

Question

Nginx

You need to listen on the port range 16384-32768.

The code looks like this:

server {
listen 192.168.1.4:80;
listen 192.168.1.4:16384-32768;

server_name domain.com;

location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.11:$server_port;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

}
}

Error service nginx restart:

Answer 1

nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_core_module.ht...

Port ranges (1.15.10) are specified with the first and last port separated by a hyphen:
listen 127.0.0.1:12345-12399;
listen 12345-12399;

Answer 2

Taxi at the firewall level, IMHO.
