proxy.conf works for reaching local apps on a developer machine from a testing machine (e.g. a phone). But it only allows forward-proxying http requests. It will fail with ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED on https requests. The stream block inside nginx.conf is a work in progress to reach remote resources.
