Proxy

/rɪˈvɜrs ˈprɒksi/

noun — “the invisible middleman that shields and routes your web traffic.”

Reverse Proxy is a server that sits between clients (like web browsers) and one or more backend servers, handling requests on behalf of the backend and often performing tasks such as load balancing, caching, SSL termination, and security filtering. Unlike a traditional forward proxy, which hides the client from the server, a reverse proxy hides the server from the client, presenting a single unified endpoint for multiple services.
