Reverse proxy in simple terms: it’s a middleman that makes your servers’ lives easier.

Clients talk to it, and it talks to your servers. Why?

- Security: Filters bad requests.
- Speed: Caches stuff so servers don’t have to redo work.
- Scalability: Distributes traffic so no single server dies.

Regular proxy = hides *you*. Reverse proxy = hides *your servers*.

Caddy is a cool alternative if you want something with automatic HTTPS.
