Currently reviewing the settings on my FreePBX instance, and encountered this page:
Not to ask the dumb question, but what does the section titled “Proxy Settings” change? Does it send all network traffic from the instance through a proxy server? Does it only affect the GUI/UCP?
Just trying to understand it, because I couldn’t find any documentation on it 
Maybe my Google-fu is rubbish?
It’s only for outbound traffic from the server but doesn’t apply to voice/video traffic.
The real problem here is the documentation for Advanced Settings doesn’t appear to have been updated in over a decade. Even the download for the PDF manual is at least 14 years old (published in 2013). The wiki lacks any changes made over that time.
Thank you for letting me know.
If I’m running FreePBX from behind a reverse proxy, should I change those settings?
No idea. There may be some here who have done this and can chime in.
No, the reverse proxy should best handle inbound/outbound call routing and tls if desired
