Proxy if needed

If you run restricted port syand you cannot control the box firewall you may want to proxy your connection to Jenkins port :8080. You can install nGinx to do this for you

sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled  #then enable proxy_pass
   location / {
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080
      }
