Nginx redirect https request from LAN to VK?

Question

Nginx

I make requests to localhost/port/path configured in nginx to redirect to the vk.com API. VK requires requests over https, how do I configure nginx? you need this in order to configure requests limit per second through nginh.
Is it really necessary to generate ssl separately for nginx?

Answer 1

Proxy with the limit_req directive through the stream module ( official guide ), i.e. TCP Proxy
