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.
<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
The old `WEBSOCKET_ENABLED` and `WEBSOCKET_PORT` are not needed anymore since v1.29.0 of Vaultwarden and can be ignored.<br>
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).
