`https://example.com:8448`. The following sections detail the configuration of
the reverse proxy and the homeserver.
## Homeserver Configuration
The HTTP configuration will need to be updated for Synapse to correctly record
client IP addresses and generate redirect URLs while behind a reverse proxy.
In `homeserver.yaml` set `x_forwarded: true` in the port 8008 section and
consider setting `bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']` so that the server only
listens to traffic on localhost. (Do not change `bind_addresses` to `127.0.0.1`
when using a containerized Synapse, as that will prevent it from responding
to proxied traffic.)
## Reverse-proxy configuration examples
**NOTE**: You only need one of these.

## Homeserver Configuration
You will also want to set `bind_addresses: ['127.0.0.1']` and
`x_forwarded: true` for port 8008 in `homeserver.yaml` to ensure that
client IP addresses are recorded correctly.
Having done so, you can then use `https://matrix.example.com` (instead
of `https://matrix.example.com:8448`) as the "Custom server" when
connecting to Synapse from a client.
