FAQ

This is a collection of frequently asked questions and answers.

Mostly envisioned to be used on #varnish (irc.linpro.no) irc channel to make things more smooth.

How do I upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0/4.1?

Use varnish3to4 to convert VCL and fix the last parts yourself using the 4.0 and 4.1 upgrade notes.

When do we get HTTP/2?

Soon. We just have to write the code first.

Officially we're aiming for 5.0 on September 15th 2016.

When do we get TLS in Varnish?

There are no plans to add native SSL/TLS in Varnish. Use a terminating proxy (like Hitch or HAProxy) and hand the traffic back to Varnish using the PROXY protocol.
