I use Nginx as a reverse proxy, as well (running on a Mac, though.) I'm in the process of converting to 4D v17, so I can't speak to it's latest performance as a web server, but Nginx has better performance (unless I configured 4D incorrectly) at serving static files than v15. So, I have it set up to intercept calls to css, javascript, and image files (on a specific location), and serve those directly. Also, Nginx serves the secure socket layer, so it's configured with the certificate information. The 4D remote (proxy) connection behind it, is unsecured, and (from what I've been told from other posters) more performant and more reliable that way. I didn't test it personally, but it is very fast. We use Active4D on a 4D remote connection, with a separate 4D Server.
