If you we running GoToSocial on port 443, change the `port` value back to the default `8080`.
If the reverse proxy will be running on the same machine, set the `bind-address` to `"localhost"` so that the GoToSocial server is only accessible via loopback. Otherwise it may be possible to bypass your proxy by connecting to GoToSocial directly, which might be undesirable.
## Set up Caddy
We will configure Caddy 2 to use GoToSocial on our main domain example.org. Since Caddy takes care of obtaining the Lets Encrypt certificate, we only need to configure it properly once.
