Configure Multiple IPs

If you have multiple IP addresses on the server, first make sure IPs are properly configured on your web server. If your secondary IPs are configured, you should be able to ping to these IPs and connect to the server using the IP address.

Once IPs are configured in the server and able to ping, you can run following commands

Now you will be able to use all IP available in the server as a proxy server.

This won’t work if your IPs are behind NAT. You can verify this by running the command “ip a”, it should list all IP addresses.
