Server1 has to handle SSL for both servers. You can’t proxy encrypted traffic1.

So on Server1, you have to do:

```
certbot --nginx -d houseofavi.com

```

as well.

1. Not exactly accurate. You can do something called “SNI prereading” with ngx\_stream ([https://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx\_stream\_ssl\_preread\_module.html](https://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_ssl_preread_module.html)), but that’s fairly complicated to setup.
