<div><span style="font-size: 16px;">We are designing a deployment
were NGINX front ends all incoming https connection and then
forwards it to multiple web containers like</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Tomcat and Node.js which
listen on internal ports on 127.0.0.1.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 16px;">I have some questions here</span></div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px;">Is it possible to route
Outbound connection through NGINX as well. I.e for requests
outbound from Tomcat/Node.js, can the requests be forwarded
to an internal nginx port first over HTTP and then Nginx
will proxy them to the destination over HTTPS?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px;">Are there any high to medium
severity known threats for having an HTTP connection between
nginx and the other web containers listening on local ports
on the same machine instead of using HTTPS.Is is there any
other alternative?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px;">What is the best way to allow
access from a list of know IP addresses at the NGINX layer.
That is a White list of Ips. Would it be by using
mod_security or the <span class="final-path">ngx_http_access_module.
Is the one better over the other?</span></span></li>
