Really looks like an ai-generated overview.

What's the difference between Reverse proxy and forward proxy? Is there something like "intermediate proxy"? Is this concept of L7 proxy, similar to DNAT/SNAT or Port forwarding in L3/L4?

Original, Medium-free URL is https://startwithawhy.com/reverseproxy/2024/01/15/ReversePro...
Meta request: can we change the URL to the original source? This isn’t quite blogspam (since it’s the same author reposting the same piece onto Medium) but Medium is annoying enough that I’d still rather resolve to the original source

Amazing read, I personally find it fascinating to make my own load balancer.

I would say the bullet points at the top are not strictly correct. The response does not necessarily transit the proxy. Responses can be returned directly to the client (DSR).

It took me an embarrassingly long time to internalize what the reverse proxy is. My brain got stuck on the fact that it is just proxying requests. What's so reverse about this? Silly.

How does this relate to "AI"? /s

Caddy, Nginx, Traefik seem to be the most popular reverse proxies in the self hosting/homelab communities.
I definitely prefer Caddy in my experience, so far.
