📄 Description

Users reported extreme packet loss (up to 80%) when streaming UDP-based services like TeamSpeak 3 through Nginx Proxy Manager. This issue is primarily caused by lock contention on the UDP receive buffer when multiple Nginx worker processes compete for the same socket.

This PR enables the reuseport socket option for both TCP and UDP stream templates.

By enabling reuseport, the Linux kernel creates multiple listening sockets and balances incoming packets across workers at the kernel level. This ensures that packets from the same connection consistently reach the same worker, significantly reducing packet drops and stabilizing high-bandwidth UDP streams.

The change is compatible with Linux Kernel 3.9+ (released in 2013) or Debian 7.

Resolves #5000
