sudo nano /etc/varnish/default.vcl

[...]
backend default {
    .host = "127.0.0.1";
    .port = "8080";
}

# Drop any cookies sent to Wordpress.
sub vcl_recv {
        if (!(req.url ~ "wp-(login|admin)")) {
                unset req.http.cookie;
        }
}

# Drop any cookies Wordpress tries to send back to the client.
sub vcl_fetch {
