Question Modsecurity - Apache or Nginx

[Kulturmensch]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67 Update #3

I’m planning to make a third attempt next week to install ModSecurity under Plesk. During the setup, there’s an option to choose whether ModSecurity should be applied to Nginx or Apache. Since I’m using Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Apache, it’s unclear which option I should select.

As far as I know you have to use the Apache version if nginx is only used as a reverse proxy. Most definitely the Apache version is not wrong here (I use it myself with the reverse proxy option).

Thank you, then I will also apply the Apache variant.
