Note that WebSocket notifications are not applicable to the mobile (Android/iOS) Bitwarden clients. These clients use the native push notification service instead ([FCM](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging) for Android, [APNs](https://developer.apple.com/go/?id=push-notifications) for iOS). These have to be configured separately using push credentials from Bitwarden's cloud service, also available since v1.29.0.

If you do use a reverse proxy like nginx or Apache HTTPd, then you need to make sure you configure it correctly to pass through the WebSocket `Upgrade` and `Connection` headers. Some reverse proxies do this by default like Traefik for example.
