# Nginx

In this guide we will be using Nginx as a reverse proxy to access Remnashop. We will point a domain name to our server, issue an SSL certificate, and configure Nginx.

<Warning>
  You need to have a registered domain name to continue.
</Warning>

***

## Point your domain to the server

Check your server's IP address. It is better to use a static IPv4 address.

Now you need to point your domain name to this IP address.

For example: <Badge>my-super-panel.com</Badge> -> <Badge>193.122.122.122</Badge>

There are two ways to do this:

1. Use a DNS provider (e.g. Cloudflare, Google Cloud, etc.)
2. Use a registrar (e.g. Namecheap, etc.)

***

## DNS Provider

If you are using Cloudflare, you need to add an A/AAAA record (for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively) to your DNS records.

Log in to your Cloudflare account [here](https://dash.cloudflare.com/login) and select the desired domain.

On the left side of the page, click on <Badge>DNS</Badge> and then click on <Badge>Records</Badge>. Click on <Badge>Create record</Badge>.

Set the <Badge>Type</Badge> to <Badge>A</Badge> and the <Badge>Name</Badge> to <Badge>@</Badge>.

<Info>
  If you want to use subdomains, enter the subdomain name (e.g.{" "}
  <Badge>bot</Badge>) in the <Badge>Name</Badge> field.
</Info>

Enter your server's IP address in the <Badge>IPv4 address</Badge> field and click <Badge>Save</Badge>.

Now you need to wait a while for the DNS records to be updated.

<Info>
  There is an important difference between the yellow cloud (domain is proxied
  by Cloudflare) and the grey cloud (domain is not proxied by Cloudflare) in
  the Cloudflare control panel.

  If Cloudflare works fine in your region, it is recommended to proxy the
  domain through Cloudflare (yellow cloud).

Some DNS providers have a different interface, but the overall process is the same.

## Nginx Configuration

You can set up Nginx on the same server as the Remnawave panel or on a separate server. Select the appropriate option below.

  <Card title="📄️ Bundled" href="/docs/en/reverse-proxies/nginx/bundled" arrow="true" cta="Go">
    Bundled setup means Nginx will be configured on the same server as the
    Remnawave panel.
  </Card>

  <Card title="📄️ Separate server" href="/docs/en/reverse-proxies/nginx/separate-server" arrow="true" cta="Go">
    Installing on a separate server means that Nginx will be installed on a
    different server than the Remnawave panel and other components.
