[b]"How Do Proxy and Firewall Work Together to Secure My Network?"[/b] or [b]"What’s the Best Way to Configure Pro

Kinda nerdy but here’s how I see it: firewall = traffic cop, proxy = undercover agent. One blocks, the other hides.

They don’t chat but work in sequence. Proxy first, then firewall. If rules conflict, things break.

Tools? Try NGINX as a reverse proxy and iptables for firewall rules.
