Reverse Proxy Server using NGINX on Ubuntu 24.04

Nginx is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. NGINX is highly scalable as well, meaning that its service grows along with its clients traffic.

Reverse Proxy Features

Reverse proxy with caching

Load balancing with in-band health checks

TLS/SSL with SNI and OCSP stapling support, via OpenSSL

FastCGI, SCGI, uWSGI, support with caching

SMTP, POP3, and IMAP proxy

Keep-alive and pipelined connections support

Access control based

Response rate limiting

WebSockets

Load balancing

- A reverse proxy server can act as a “traffic cop,” sitting in front of your backend servers and distributing client requests across a group of servers in a manner that maximizes speed and capacity utilization while ensuring no one server is overloaded, which can degrade performance. If a server goes down, the load balancer redirects traffic to the remaining online servers.

Web acceleration

– Reverse proxies can compress inbound and outbound data, as well as cache commonly requested content, both of which speed up the flow of traffic between clients and servers. They can also perform additional tasks such as SSL encryption to take load off of your web servers, thereby boosting their performance.

Security and anonymity

– By intercepting requests headed for your backend servers, a reverse proxy server protects their identities and acts as an additional defense against security attacks. It also ensures that multiple servers can be accessed from a single record locator or URL regardless of the structure of your local area network.
