I just wanted to confirm by the issues stated below that there is no point in having set more than 1 Worker Process and no more than 1024 Worker connections and by putting anything more, Windows/Nginx will ignore it?
If I have external 2000 connections trying to start, they have to wait until one frees up even if I was to put 2048 Worker connections and Auto for Worker processes, right?

Known issues : http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html

Although several workers can be started, only one of them actually does any work.
A worker can handle no more than 1024 simultaneous connections.

Still true for the official version, this one does not have these issues: http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/

Hello, so the free one has the issues but the commercial one does not? or is nginx 1.13.8.1 Violet still free for personnel use?

Looks as though from the old Apache logs, i was only needing like 400 connection requests at a time, so I should be good to stick with the free one for now? is there a config like Apache has that I can enable in Nginx that shows me how many concurrent workers/connections are being used so i can keep checking it at peek times? Thanks

This commercial one also has a free version you can download which includes examples.
If you can do what you want with the free version your all set, if you need more you pay, its that simple.

Okay thanks, and it looks like in Violet, there are nginx-org.conf and nginx-win.conf but no nginx.conf so I was wondering once I copy over nginx_basic over my current nginx.exe, which config does the new version use? (nginx.conf, nginx-org.conf or nginx-win.conf)

Also, does this work in the Windows version?
https://easyengine.io/tutorials/nginx/status-page/

And does this setting for server_name always have to be changed to my domain name? what if I don't have a domain name, can I just put the servers IP Address?;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;

99% of the inner working are the same as for linux, use google.

No, Yes.

Oh, okay, so it will work if I just leave it as server_name localhost; ?

nginx.conf always takes precedence unless you specify a different one at startup, a default named nginx.conf is not provided to prevent it from being overwritten when upgrading.
