How To Configure An Nginx SSL Reverse Proxy On Linux?

In this video I show you how to configure an Nginx as a reverse proxy. I set up SSL during the configuration for enhanced security.

A reverse proxy is a server that sits in front of web servers and forwards client requests to those web servers. It acts as an intermediary, intercepting and inspecting incoming client requests before forwarding them to the web server. Reverse proxies can provide additional levels of abstraction, control, security, and performance optimization. They are commonly used for load balancing, web acceleration, and to hide implementation details about the web servers.

If you want to skip the "bla bla" and get to the point:
