Nginx

We added some directives that may cause issues with older versions of Nginx. We now recommend and only support Nginx stable. Please note that if you are running below v1.14.2, applying this update will likely result in breakage.

• Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) support
• TLS generation, see the recent tutorial on our blog
• Better TLS sessions, handling timeout, tickets & longer cache
• Longer HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), now 2 years
• Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) stapling support
