What is a reverse proxy server?
The Reverse Proxy server is a device that a web host can place between servers and the Internet to handle the client's requirements. When this type of setting is used, clients who apply for reverse proxy see as a normal server. The reverse proxy server transmits all the real server requirements and then transfers the data back to the clients. This can provide additional security for a web host, speed up content delivery, or delete some web servers. Further use of these devices is referred to as a teaspoon feeding, as it allows the web server to quickly generate a dynamic page and send the whole thing to the proxy server, which can then give it a piece of piece to the client. When one of these proxy receives a static content requirement such as images, sound or video, they store data before sending them to the client. The next time you request this information, it is stored in the reverse proxy cache can easily deliver directly to the client instead of handing over the request for a real web server. ItIt can remove part from the ordinary server and release it and generate dynamic content.
performance can also be increased using a reverse proxy server to distribute load on multiple web servers. Incoming clients' requirements go to the proxy first and are subsequently distributed according to the type of server load or request. The least busy server or server designed to process this particular request can then generate the necessary data.
It is also possible for the reverse proxy server to accelerate secure (SSL) encryption (SSL). In these cases, the web server will deliver the content to the proxy, which then performs the encryption itself. By balancing encryption obligations to the proxy, more processing power is released on the web server to fill in the content requirements. The server can also have the SSL acceleration hardware installed that can further speed up this process.
further use for sErver Proxy Proxy is to create further protection between web host and the Internet. When a web host that uses a reverse proxy server tends to take an attack. This may allow the ordinary server not to hurt, because any malware or other undesirable code can reside on the proxy instead. Firewalls for application can also be installed on reverse proxy, which can facilitate defense against coming attacks.
