In computer networks, a Reverse Proxy is an application that sits in front of back-end servers and forwards client requests to those servers instead of having the client directly talking to the servers. Reverse proxies help increase scalability, performance, resilience and security. The resources returned to the client appear as if they originated from the web server itself. |
