NGINX Config

The current nginx.config file included in the repo is configured as a TCP Load Balancer. To use the current config file for this purpose edit the server link to point to a backend server(s) and port accepting TCP traffic.

To understand more about NGINX TCP/UDP Load Balancing reference: Nginx Load Balancing
