Help with NGINX Reverse Proxy for AR/VR Application Hosting

Hello NGINX Community,

I am working on hosting an AR/VR application for Simulanis Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a company specializing in Metaverse, VR, AR, and MR solutions. We are using NGINX as a reverse proxy to manage multiple services, but we are facing issues with:

1. WebSocket connections breaking intermittently in VR applications.
2. SSL/TLS configuration for secure access to our immersive training platform.
3. Load balancing between multiple VR/AR services to optimize performance.
4. CORS issues when trying to serve WebXR content across different domains.

NGINX Configuration (Simplified Version):

server {  
    listen 443 ssl;  
    server_name mydomain.com;  

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/fullchain.pem;  
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/privkey.pem;  

    location /vr-app/ {  
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;  
        proxy_set_header Host $host;  
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;  
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;  
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";  
    }  
}

Can you share more about the issues that you are seeing? One thing you will want to add to the proxy_pass configuration for websockets is to set proxy_http_version 1.1; in the location /vr-app/ block. That could be causing the intermittent connection issues, but more context would be helpful to pinpoint any additional issues.
