I've nginx installed on my Ubuntu based VPS with the domain name
my.domain.xyz. A socks5 proxy listening on port 6001 of the VPS which
can access the intranet website 10.8.10.220:2021. Now, I run socat as
following on the VPS:

$ socat -v -d -d TCP4-LISTEN:2021,fork,reuseaddr
socks5:127.0.0.1:10.8.10.220:2021,socks5port=6001

Then I configure a reverse nginx proxy as follows:

server {
listen 8888;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:2021;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}

The above configuration will let me access the intranet website
10.8.10.220:2021 from outside with the following URL:
http://my.domain.xyz:8888.

OTOH, the intranet website 10.8.10.220:2021 needs to log in with specific
username and password. After I open http://my.domain.xyz:8888 and then
do the login, the URL always changes to the following form:

http://my.domain.xyz:2021

This will cause subsequent operations to fail. Is there any way to
continue using port 8888 to solve this problem?

Regards,
HZ

What does this have to do with the shell? Why are you asking this here?

The answer to both of your questions is explained in another recent post
(on another "HY" thread).

He considers this newsgroup to be his one-stop-shopping place for all his
computer questions.

Thank you, Kenny. It would appear that after all of these years,
people still don't get it. Or that they are refusing to get it, because
"getting it" would somehow be an obstruction to them. :-/
