Should work fine. I personally avoided using a reverse proxy like nginx or apache because they tend to have a ton of vulnerabilities (check out the CVE database results for "nginx"), making them a security management headache.

Any serious vulnerability in NGINX will be big news since it is so widespread. CVE database shows some entries by searching for "nginx" but I looked at all 2022 entries and the only ones affecting NGINX itself are in NJX plugin so actually not affecting NGINX core functionality.

https://nginx.org/en/security_advisories.html shows one "medium severity" vulnerability in the last 4 years.

Huh, guess I haven't really checked on this since mid-early 2010s. Was a lot worse back then.
