Hi Friends, I am Anshul Tiwari and welcome to our youtube channel ITkFunde.

About this video -
In this video, we will understand the basics of proxy servers and how it is different from a reverse proxy server. This video will explain the meaning of proxy and how a proxy server

While proxy servers help protect client machines from an outside network, a reverse proxy does the exact opposite of securing servers from outside networks.

Using proxy servers offers the following advantages:-

1) Enhanced Security
2) Better Performance
3) Load Balancing
4) Compression
5) Encryption and Decryption

A quick summary from the video of the PROS part on a proxy:
1. Firewall.
2. Better management.
3. Security.
4. Caching.
5. Encryption/Decryption.
*Reverse proxy protected server, instead of clients.
Additional PROS
1. Load balancing the traffic. (Reverse proxy can have/be a load balancing feature, but it's not necessary.)
2. Caching (inherited from the proxy, but thinking in a reverse way).
3. IP musk (inherited from the proxy security, but thinking in a reverse way).
4. Compress the request size (zipping request). Save more bandwidth for performance.

frankly my mom in my youth was a firewall blocking all requests for toys and opened the ports to the toy store only on my birthday

Whoever was your teacher or taught you about IT turned you into a Master! Thank you for your humility, simplicity and generosity in teaching. Continued success and elevation to you😊

I don't use this word easily, but the example with the parents being proxies is absolute genius.

[EYNugget]

I love the use of the parent-child relationship as an analogy for the proxy server.

[pallavkan]

you solved my 10 hour confusion in 10 min!! cheers!

[Hostlyy]

This guy explains everything very well. Today I learned stuff that I could never understand in a couple of minutes

[RakibCan]

Your analogy with parent-child was a great example to get the ball rolling. Thanks for the video.

[sandygodu]

I always had difficulty understanding these two concepts but you have simplified them using real-life examples. Thank you so much.

[rindia]

No comments will be enough to express my compliments! Great lecture, easy style of presentation. I'll share with my office junior team members. I wish you please publish some AWS step-by-step videos at later dates (especially the networking part - if this ever comes in your work area).

[igordolvich]

Thanks, this really helped to clear some things up and refresh my memory on this topic. In particular, your example/analogy with kids and their parents acting as a proxy to the outside world was brilliant - very intuitive and easy to understand, helping one better grasp and remember this concept. I wish I had a teacher like you back in my university years.

[lisaknieriem]

You’re examples are so easy to understand!
Thank you 🙏!!! You’re doing a wonderful job teaching. It’s harder, as we get older, to understand concepts that are new. You’re very much appreciated ❤️😉

[margento]

I've learned so much from you! Thank you, and keep them coming (please)!

[poornanilkund]

How I wish I had access to such great content during my engineering years!

[cheslei]

I like how you simplify the technical stuff. It helps a lot. I always get confused when it comes to networking and you just make it so easy to understand. Thank you.

[ilyas]

Dude, that was amazing. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Stay blessed!!!

[Andreas-qsxn]

That was very clear and concise without oversimplifying. Thank you!

[jeanne]

Never thought I would be learning this thank you ❤🧡💚💙💜

[ART-gnps]

I love the way that is so simple but it comes with very great explanation and understandable. This is how the teacher should be.

[yuvabhagvatkathakarshriyag]

that one example of child-parent was enough to explain the whole concept! keep making such good videos, we will keep motivating you..
