Question Web Application Firewall and FPM apache/nginx

[Groovixx]

Does the extension 'Web Application Firewall' (apache mod?) works when PHP runs on 'FPM application server by Nginx'?

If php is set to 'FPM application server by Nginx', does nginx runs natively without proxy?
Because in 'Apache & Nginx Settings', i still have checkboxes for proxy.
I know if they are unchecked, nginx runs without apache.

no.

WAF is only for apache... UNLESS, you use nginx plus (the paid version)
and fyi. if you use atomicorp ASL, no WAF either when using "FPM application served by nginx"

uhm, maybe I'm wrong because I don't know exactly what the checkbox for proxy does/doesn't do?

FYI. I ran a simplistic test for
FPM application served by nginx vs. FPM application served by apache on a WP site... about 1/2 faster for nginx
