How do I set up Nginx as a reverse proxy?

To set up Nginx as a reverse proxy, you'll need to install Nginx and configure it to forward requests to your backend server.

What configuration do I need to add to the Nginx config file?

You need to add a server block in your Nginx configuration file. Here's a basic example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend_server_ip:port;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

How do I test if the reverse proxy is working?

You can test it by accessing your domain in a web browser or using a tool like curl. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the response from your backend server.
