In this blog post, we explore the process of setting up a reverse proxy using IIS or Azure App Service. Reverse proxies are beneficial for hiding the origin server's identity and improving performance, security, and load balancing. Before configuring the reverse proxy, it's essential to install IIS and the necessary extensions, such as RequestRouter and Rewrite.
Once installed, enable the proxy settings in the IIS management tools and create a new reverse proxy rule by configuring domain bindings and HTTPS certificates. Creating a web.config file under the site root path is crucial for adding rules, such as redirecting HTTP traffic to HTTPS and setting up the real reverse proxy logic.
The blog post provides a detailed example of setting up a reverse proxy for Aiursoft.IO and a simpler example for Google.com. To further enhance security, the HSTS feature can be enabled by adding specific code to the web.config file.
For deploying the reverse proxy server to Azure App Service, simply ...--GPT 4
