What is a Reverse Proxy Server?


A reverse proxy server, also known as a gateway server, acts as an intermediary between clients and the origin server. Generally, the clients are everyday internet users and the servers are resource providers that offer to view and access various websites and services.

The reverse proxy’s primary purpose is to protect the origin server by monitoring and filtering user requests before they reach the server. It receives HTTP endpoint requests forwarded to the origin server, essentially working as an endpoint at the network’s edge.

Why is a Reverse Proxy important?


A reverse proxy is important for two main reasons; security and performance of the server. If both of these factors are taken care of, users are more likely to visit and use your website or web application, engage in it, trust it, and consider making purchases on it.

It is also important for medium-to-large businesses with a considerable amount of traffic to protect their websites and web applications from DDOS attacks. The larger the business, the more likely it is for a malicious entity to attack it.

Lastly, services of this size are expected to have 100% uptime. Any system overload or failure disrupts the user base and can have a serious impact on future traffic and revenue generation.




Reverse Proxy Server vs Proxy Server


Both reverse proxy servers and forward proxy servers are meant to protect entities from malicious attacks and increase security, performance, and reliability. The difference lies in which entities they protect and how they do it.To know more about the difference between Reverse Proxy Server and Forward Proxy Server click here.


Difference between Reverse Proxy Server vs Forward Proxy Comparison between Reverse Proxy and Forward Proxy


Reverse Proxy


    Protects the resource server


    Regulates inbound traffic


    Masks the origin server’s IP address

What are the benefits of a Reverse Proxy Server?



Network Security Devices: Features Section

Load Balancing

Load Balancing is used by high-volume websites to distribute numerous resource requests to different servers. It functions as a ‘traffic cop’, redirecting traffic to online servers in case one server goes down.

Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB)

Global Server Load Balancing is where requests to a site are distributed to servers globally to reduce user load times in accessing the origin server’s content from different time zones, increasing site reliability.

Powerful caching

Caching is for storing a version of a web page in a fast storage location and then displaying it in response to a request. It reduces the load on the origin server and improves load speed and user experience.

Optimized SSL encryption

Reverse Proxy encrypts/decrypts your Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) communication taking the computational load off the origin server to reduce latency for distant users.

Web acceleration

Compressing incoming and outgoing data, along with content caching, leads to Web acceleration. This and other features take the load off your origin server and boost site performance, resulting in web acceleration.

Monitoring and Logging Traffic

Monitoring and logging traffic is another perpetual task and resource-consuming but can be done by a reverse proxy server. It improves system security by filtering out harmful traffic and potential DDOS attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is the purpose of a Reverse Proxy?

The purpose of a reverse proxy server is to filter and direct resource requests to the backend server. By doing so, it protects the main server from malicious attacks and takes load off of it. Reverse proxies also mask the location and IP address of external sites and make them look like they are part of the main domain.

Is a CDN a Reverse Proxy?

A content delivery network is a bunch of distributed servers that allow easy access to cached mirrored pages for geographically distant clients. It can be used in conjunction with a reverse proxy server to take the load off the origin server and create a robust infrastructure for your website or web application.

Is a Load Balancer a Reverse Proxy?

Load balancing is a feature of reverse proxy servers which distributes the load of resource requests to multiple servers. This takes the load off the main server and allows it to perform other tasks, ensuring it doesn’t go down in the process.

Is an API Gateway a Reverse Proxy?

An Application Programming Interface (API) allows you to access resources and run commands on another platform without having direct access to the site’s UI by logging into it. It is different from a reverse proxy server, or gateway server, which filters incoming requests coming to the main server and protects it from attacks.

Do I need a Reverse Proxy?

A reverse proxy server is a must-have for businesses of any size that are serving users beyond a local level. It protects the resource server from malicious attacks, makes sure it doesn’t get overloaded, and provides a host of other features that let you configure access levels, monitor and log traffic, and accelerate web response times for a better user experience.
