Imagine you’re at a concert. The reverse proxy is the ticket scanner—it checks who gets in, directs people to the right seats, and keeps troublemakers out.

It makes things faster (caching) and safer (hiding your server’s real IP).

If you’re new, play around with Nginx’s reverse proxy config. Their docs have step-by-step guides.
