Nginx supports L4 (TCP/UDP) proxying just fine, just like HAProxy [1]. Nginx's HTTP(S) proxy capabilities are extensive. Not as extensive as HAProxy, but definitely close. (I don't know anything about RDP, I guess it's a binary protocol that HAProxy doesn't know anything about?)

- drewbug01 9y agoHAProxy is much more flexible than nginx when it comes to proxying and load-balancing non-http protocols. And, frankly - HAProxy is pretty darn flexible around HTTP too. It's not really an apples-to-apples comparison.

- gerdesj 9y agoThat link goes to something peddling nginx plus. I'll stick with nginx and haproxy and use each where appropriate. For some odd reason Products -> Compare versions didn't work for me (Chrome on Linux) so I can't tell what plus brings to the show.
- lobster_johnson 9y agoNo, that link is for the open source version. *Prerequisites* Latest NGINX Open Source built with the --with-stream configuration flag, or latest NGINX Plus (no extra build steps required)
- user5994461 9y agoYour link is to nginx plus: That's the paid edition, $1900 per server. The free nginx is lagging farrrrr behind in terms of features.
