Redirect Generator

Generate correct Nginx or Apache redirects for HTTPS, www canonicalization, domain migration, or a single URL — checked against real syntax rules for each server, including the differences between them.

About this tool

This generates the redirect rule only, not a full server config — pair it with your existing site config (see the config generator) rather than using it standalone. For the domain-migration case, remember the old domain still needs a valid SSL certificate for HTTPS requests to reach the redirect at all — an expired or missing certificate fails the TLS handshake before your server ever sees the request. See How to use ProxyForge for a walkthrough of every setting and where the output goes.

How it works

STEP 1

Pick Nginx or Apache, then choose what you're redirecting — HTTPS, www canonicalization, a domain move, or a single path.

STEP 2

Fill in the domain (or old path and new URL), and pick 301 or 302 — the rule updates live as you go.

STEP 3

Copy the result and drop it into your existing config, alongside the server block from the config generator.

The domain you're moving to — no https:// or trailing slash.
Must start with a slash and match the URL exactly, e.g. /old-page.
The full destination, including https:// — unlike the old path above.
Permanent is almost always what you want — it lets browsers and search engines cache the redirect instead of checking every time.
