+ WebSocket's are enabled by default since v1.29.0 of Vaultwarden. Previous versions needed a reverse proxy because WebSockets were running on a different port than then default HTTPS port.
The old implementation is still available in v1.29.0 to not break during updates for now. But this will be removed in the future.

+ 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. -
+ The old `WEBSOCKET_ENABLED` and `WEBSOCKET_PORT` are not needed anymore since v1.29.0 of Vaultwarden and can be ignored.
In fact, if you use the native implementation setting `WEBSOCKET_ENABLED` back to the default `false` value will reduce resources used by Vaultwarden (though not that much).
