Hey! Sorry for the repeating question, I have a very specific question though.
For context, I access my services using a vpn, and that’s been great. However, I’ve been a lot of people mentioning reverse proxies. Are they necessary or more of a convenience thing? I ask because I don’t see something that I cannot do with my current vpn setup.
Thanks!
A reverse proxy will let you write domain name -> IP. People use them even in private networks to remove the need to remember a bunch of IPS. They can be used in conjunction with exposed services but exposing them you would do somewhere else (port forwarding in your router)
