Backend runs on 127.0.0.1:8000 (internal only) # 2. Firewall BLOCKS external access to port 8000 # 3. Only nginx can reach backend (internal network) # 4. Public internet can ONLY access nginx (ports 80, 443) # 5. All API calls go through nginx proxy (/api/* → 127.0.0.1:8000/api/*) # 6. Backend IP whitelist middleware ensures only localhost requests # ==============================================================================
