### Webhook Configuration Issue (HTTP vs. HTTPS)

**The Problem:**

- My instance is running with **HTTPS** and is accessible via `https://n8n.server.com`

- I am running the application behind an **Nginx Reverse Proxy**.

- The Webhook URL generated by the **“WhatsApp Trigger”** node **is still HTTP** (not HTTPS), which prevents registration with Meta/Facebook, as they require HTTPS.

**My Setup Details:**

- **Workflow Application:** n8n (Version: `n8nio/n8n:latest` via Docker)

- **Reverse Proxy:** Nginx

**Docker Environment Variables (n8n):**

```auto
N8N_HOST=n8n.server.com.br
N8N_PORT=443
N8N_PROTOCOL=https
WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.server.com
WEBHOOK_TUNNEL_URL=https://n8n.server.com

```

**Nginx Configuration (443 `server` block):**

Nginx

```auto
server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name n8n.server.com;
    # ... SSL configuration (Let's Encrypt) ...

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:5678;
        
        # Crucial Proxy Headers
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port 443;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
    }
}

```

**Note:** I have confirmed that the n8n container has been fully **restarted** after applying these environment variables.

_Thank you in advance for your help!_

You should also set N8N\_PROXY\_HOPS=1 since you are running behind a single reverse proxy. This helps n8n correctly interpret the forwarded headers and generate the right URLs.  
N8N\_PORT should be set to the internal port n8n listens on (usually 5678), not 443. The reverse proxy (Nginx) handles the HTTPS/443 part.
