        proxy_redirect           off;
        proxy_set_header         X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header         X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header         Host $http_host;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://dlp.srv.world/;
        }
