 1. Create a **Proxy Host** that points to your ABS container or host (default forward port `13378`).
 2. Under the **SSL** tab, enable your certificate and tick **Force SSL** if you want HTTPS only.
 3. In the **Advanced** tab, append the snippet below so bearer tokens, client IPs, and large uploads survive the proxy hop:
-   ```nginx
+```nginx

+proxy_set_header Host $host;

+  ```
 4. Disable **Block Common Exploits** (it strips Authorization headers in some NPM builds).
 5. Enable **Websockets Support** on the main proxy screen (Audiobookshelf uses it for the web UI, and it keeps the reverse proxy configuration consistent).
 6. If you publish Audiobookshelf under a path prefix (for example `/abs`), add a **Custom Location** with `Location: /abs/` and set the **Forward Path** to `/`. That rewrite strips the `/abs` prefix before traffic reaches Audiobookshelf so `/abs/api/...` on the internet becomes `/api/...` on the backend. Use the same prefixed URL in Abogen’s “Base URL” field.
