How do I set up a reverse proxy?

To set up a reverse proxy, you'll need a web server like Nginx or Apache. Which one are you using?

I'm using Nginx. What are the basic steps?

First, install Nginx. Then, configure the server block to define the reverse proxy settings, including the target server.

Can you provide an example configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend-server;
    }
}

Replace yourdomain.com and backend-server with your actual domain and backend server address.

What else should I consider when setting it up?

Make sure to handle SSL if you're using HTTPS, and consider setting up caching and load balancing for better performance.
