Configuring load balancing

To configure load balancing:

1. In the application web interface, select the Settings → Built-in proxy server → Common section.
2. In the Load balancing settings group, set the toggle switch to Enabled.
3. Select one of the following modes depending on the protocol supported by your load balancer:
   • PROXY protocol header.
   • HTTP Forwarded header.
4. In the Trusted load balancers field, enter the IP addresses for the load balancers whose traffic will be processed by the application.

   Make sure that the specified load balancers are relaying the actual IP addresses of the sources of connections. These IP addresses will be used when selecting traffic processing rules.

   When specifying multiple addresses, separate them with a semicolon.

   You can specify an IP address in one of the following formats:

   • IPv4 address (for example, 172.16.5.6).
   • IPv4 address with a mask in CIDR notation (for example, 192.168.1.0/24).
   • IPv6 address (for example, 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
   • IPv6 address with a mask in CIDR notation (for example, fc00::/7).
5. Click Save.

   If you changed the position of the Load balancing toggle switch or the balancing mode, the proxy server will be restarted when the changes are saved. Traffic processing will be paused before the restart completes.

Load balancing is now configured.
