Mastering Reverse Proxy! What is a Reverse Proxy? 🔄 A Thread explaining a step-by-step guide to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy 👇

What is a Reverse Proxy? 🔄 1/ A reverse proxy is a server that sits between clients and backend servers. Unlike a regular proxy, it handles requests on behalf of the server, not the client. Think of it as the "middleman" between users and web applications. 🌐 #ReverseProxy

2/ When a client sends a request to access a web application, it goes through the reverse proxy first. The proxy then forwards the request to the appropriate backend server that hosts the application. This allows the backend servers to remain hidden and secure. 🔒 #WebServer
