What are some examples of reverse proxy configurations?

Reverse proxies can be configured in various ways. For instance, you can use Nginx or Apache as a reverse proxy. Would you like to see specific examples?

Yes, please provide an example using Nginx.

Sure! Here’s a basic Nginx configuration for a reverse proxy:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

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

This configuration forwards requests from example.com to backend-server.

What about an example using Apache?

Here’s a simple Apache configuration for a reverse proxy:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com

    ProxyPass / http://backend-server/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://backend-server/
</VirtualHost>

This will also forward requests from example.com to backend-server.
