Using NGINX for some Reverse Proxy services for security purposes. Helps to mask the IP address of our true IP Address. Looking to see what more we can do with NGINX like its load balancing function and web functions. <div>

Pros

  • Easy to configure
  • Easy to install
  • Not complex
  • Ridiculously easy
  • A lot of users therefore alotnof guides online
