Nginx Proxy Manager, a popular web-based and user-friendly reverse proxy management interface for Nginx, has just released version 2.13.6. Although this is only a patch release to a minor version, it actually delivers some fairly significant improvements.
The most notable change is the addition of TOTP-based two-factor authentication, allowing administrators to protect access to the web interface with time-based one-time passwords, bringing a long-requested security feature to Nginx Proxy Manager.
Certificate management has also been expanded. When creating new certificates, users can now explicitly choose between RSA and ECDSA key types, offering greater flexibility depending on compatibility or performance requirements.
In addition, the maximum DNS propagation wait time has been increased to 7,200 seconds, improving reliability when using DNS-based certificate challenges.
DNS automation sees several additions in this release. New and updated plugins add support for Glesys, Hurricane Electric DDNS, All-Inkl, and Simply.com, broadening the range of providers available for automated certificate issuance via DNS challenges.
For users working with TCP and UDP streams, Nginx Proxy Manager 2.13.6 introduces port-based stream logging. On the frontend, the project has upgraded React to version 19.2.3 to address CVE-2025-55182. Date and time displays have also been improved to better respect the selected locale.
Finally, regarding internationalization, this release adds locales for Bulgarian, Indonesian, Irish, and Korean, and updates and corrects existing translations, including German, Japanese, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese.
