Hey! So, does a reverse proxy prevent DDoS attacks? Kinda, but not entirely. It’s more like a first line of defense. A reverse proxy can help by caching content and balancing the load, which reduces the strain on your server. But if the attack is huge, it might still overwhelm your setup.
I’ve had good results using NGINX as a reverse proxy combined with Cloudflare’s DDoS protection. Cloudflare’s free tier is pretty solid for smaller sites. If you’re dealing with serious attacks, though, you might wanna look into their paid plans or something like AWS Shield.
