what is reverse proxy in simple terms? It’s a shield + traffic manager. Instead of users hitting your server directly, they hit the proxy, which then decides what to do.
Big perks:
- Hides your server’s identity
- Can block bots/malicious requests
- Speeds up static content with caching
For a quick test, use NGINX Proxy Manager—it’s got a GUI so you don’t have to mess with config files.
