    Could you elaborate a bit more?

    Servers in secure zone --> Server Nginx --> squid-proxy --> an internal gitlab

    Are you suggesting that traffic passing through a reverse proxy (nginx) needs to pass through a forward proxy (squid) to get to an internal resource? And if so, an explicit forward proxy?

Hello Kevin.

Sorry for the delay of my answer.

Yes, I am using nginx as a reverse proxy.

To reach the gitlab specific destination, it needs to use a forward proxy and I don't know how to configure that. Do you know how to do it ?

Thanks in advance.
