+### Reverse Proxying
+
+#### Nginx
+
+Here is a sample Nginx config for Whoogle:
+
+```
+server {
+	server_name your_domain_name.com;
+	access_log /dev/null;
+	error_log /dev/null;
+	
+	location / {
+	    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+	    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+	    proxy_set_header Host $host;
+	    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
+	    proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
+	}
+}
+```
+
+You can then add SSL support using LetsEncrypt by following a guide such as [this one](https://www.nginx.com/blog/using-free-ssltls-certificates-from-lets-encrypt-with-nginx/).
