Okay, so what is reverse proxy in simple terms? It’s like a receptionist for your web servers.
You don’t let randoms walk into your office—they talk to the receptionist first. The proxy does the same: checks requests, routes them, and can even handle stuff like SSL.
Different from a regular proxy because it’s server-side, not client-side.
If you’re experimenting, try setting up NGINX as a reverse proxy. Tons of tutorials out there!
