Use Redis Insight behind a reverse proxy

When you configure Redis Insight to run behind a reverse proxy like NGINX, set the request timeout to over 30 seconds on the reverse proxy because some requests can be long-running.

Redis Insight also allows you to manage its connection timeout on the form to configure the connection details. The default timeout is 30 seconds.
