Is banning system can be used behind a proxy server? Does it work with headers X-Forwarded-For? Sorry for the noob question

That's not a noob question. What you should do is add "HideProxy = <ip-address of proxy>" to the configuration of the Hiawatha webserver which is behind the reverse proxy. With this option, Hiawatha takes the IP-address from the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header and pretends the request came from that IP address.

Great and so simple. Every day I am convinced that there is no better webserver. I should more accurately read the documentation:)
Thank you, Hugo
