Issues with Inbound Proxies

  • Connections from your laptop to the server
  • Things that are often configured:
    • Upload/download file size limits.
    • Upload/download/session timeouts.
  • Signs that you might be fighting against an inbound proxy:
    • Uploads/downloads from you to the server fail or cut off early.
    • Your session keeps ending (you have to log back in).
  • Special case: Websockets
    • Older proxies might break things like Shiny and Streamlit.
