Back in June, we announced our [ThinLinc Community Forum Promotional Giveaway #1](https://community.thinlinc.com/t/thinlinc-community-forum-promotional-giveaway-1/2017). This is a brand new initiative for us, but we had fun, and we hope to do more similar things in future.
For now, though, it’s time to announce the winner of our first ever giveaway. After careful deliberation, based on illustrious community particion over the past couple of months, we’ve decided that the winner is 🥁 …
@Harj !
We were particularly humbled by the time and effort put in to sharing his solutions with the community, for example regarding reverse proxy configuration as outlined here:
> [@Best practice for secure remote access using the ThinLinc native client](https://community.thinlinc.com/t/best-practice-for-secure-remote-access-using-the-thinlinc-native-client/2050/4):

> I’ve replaced the NGINX HTTP reverse proxy with an HAProxy HA pair that now handles both HTTP reverse proxy and SSH proxy through a single floating VIP. Unit testing was successful without MFA. After enabling MFA on the brokers, both the web browser client and the native ThinLinc client are able to authenticate with MFA and establish sessions successfully via the VIP For HTTP persistence I’m currently using source (source IP), similar to how we’d configure persistence on a NetScaler ADC.

It’s also incredibly useful when users post updates with solutions to issues they’ve encountered along the way, as this information can prove incredibly useful to others who might run into the same thing:
> [@Master HA node failover](https://community.thinlinc.com/t/master-ha-node-failover/2028):

> Hi All Ive setup a HA broker cluster - 2 nodes using pacemaker + corosync (TL 4.20). The HA cluster appears to work fine. A failover test - node 1 was taken off line with an active session on VDA/agent server. The HA failover is ok - able to login via the VIP using the client and the VP web admin page is redirecting to node 2. However, node 2 shows 0 active sessions so the session DB failed to sync from node 1 to node 2. /opt/thinlinc/etc/conf.d/cluster.hconf HA is showing as enabled (1) a…
So thank you for your participation, genuinely, and congratulations on winning the previously unnamed prize referenced in the giveaway announcement:
**A genuine Swedish steel, ThinLinc-engraved morakniv!**
Feel free to flick us through an email to [sales@cendio.com](mailto:sales@cendio.com) with your details, and we’ll get this sent out to you.
A big thanks also goes out to all the other 1,356 community members, whose presence and engagement here are very much appreciated. Unfortunately we only had one morakniv left, and there are plenty of others who deserve to win, but keep an eye out for future giveaways!

Hi Aaron and the team,
I’m genuinely humbled and honoured, although I’m not sure if I deserve it, as I’ve only been getting to grips with [AlmaLinux](https://www.linkedin.com/company/almalinuxos/) and [Cendio ThinLinc](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cendio-ab/) over the last two months and I’m sure there’s many long standing forum members who have contributed far more than I have over the years. A massive thank you and the team at [Cendio ThinLinc](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cendio-ab/) for the kind words, for replying to emails and helping me troubleshoot issues I’ve run into and finally for this award.
I’ll be pinging an email with my details.
Warm regards
Harj
