+#### Matrix site endpoint routing
+
+In the context of MatrixRTC, we suggest using a single hostname for backend
+communication by implementing endpoint routing within a reverse proxy setup. For
+the example above, this results in:
+| Service | Endpoint | Example |
+| -------- | ------- | ------- |
+| [Livekit SFU](https://github.com/livekit/livekit) WebSocket signalling connection | `/livekit/sfu` | `matrix-rtc.example.com/livekit/sfu` |
+| [Matrix Livekit JWT auth service](https://github.com/element-hq/lk-jwt-service) | `/livekit/jwt` | `matrix-rtc.example.com/livekit/jwt` |
+
+Using Nginx, you can achieve this by:
+
+```jsonc
+server {
+    ...
+    location ^~ /livekit/jwt/ {
+      proxy_set_header Host $host;
+      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+
+      # JWT Service running at port 8080
+      proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
+    }
+
+    location ^~ /livekit/sfu/ {
+      proxy_set_header Host $host;
+      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+
+      proxy_send_timeout 120;
+      proxy_read_timeout 120;
+      proxy_buffering off;
+
+      proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding gzip;
+      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+
+      # LiveKit SFU websocket connection running at port 7880
+      proxy_pass http://localhost:7880/;
+    }
+}
+```
