ProxyForge
Developer ToolsFree Nginx & Apache Config Generator
Free Nginx & Apache configs, tested on real servers
Launched October 4, 2026· Week 31
About
It's a free Nginx and Apache config generator for reverse proxies, WordPress, static sites and PHP-FPM. Copy-ready output, no signup, runs in your browser. Most config snippets online look right but break on a real server - a missing directive, one that isn't allowed in the file you put it in, or syntax newer versions have deprecated. I tested the outputs on real Nginx 1.27 and Apache 2.4 servers during development (nginx -t and Apache config checks), so they're built to load first time. It has five tools: Config Generator, Redirect Generator, SSL / Let's Encrypt Generator, Security Headers Generator and Basic Protection Generator. Every config comes with test-and-rollback steps, and common errors link to fixes in the FAQ. No signup, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
From the founder
Who is ProxyForge for?
People who need to set up Nginx or Apache configurations for reverse proxies, WordPress, static sites, or PHP-FPM apps.
What problem does ProxyForge solve?
Most online config generators produce configurations that look plausible but break on a real server due to missing or illegal directives, or deprecated syntax.
How is ProxyForge different from the alternatives?
Unlike other generators, every configuration combination we can produce has been tested against actual Nginx 1.27.x and Apache 2.4.x binaries during development, using real syntax and request checks.
How much does ProxyForge cost?
Will always be FREE to use. The site uses affiliate and AdSense to compensate.
