Hi Team,

I am trying to add nginx reverse proxy behind Check Point Mobile access portal which is a SSL VPN portal. Somehow this not working and when I captured and analyzed the har file I observed that the portal is accepting websocket calls. I tried implementing the same with nginx but I am still unable to find the solution.

Here is what I am seeing with Har file and then I have given my config
