The Reverse Proxy Setup

A properly configured reverse proxy in front of your application — TLS, rate limiting, WAF rules, logging, and geo-blocking if you need it.

We configure a reverse proxy in front of your application, using Cloudflare, Caddy, Traefik, or Nginx per your preference or existing infrastructure. The build covers TLS termination, rate limiting to absorb abusive traffic, web-application-firewall rules tuned to your application, structured logging, and geo-blocking if your business needs to restrict traffic by region. This sits in front of applications already running elsewhere — it's not a hosting service, and it's not the same as a fresh web server install, since the reverse proxy is a routing and protection layer rather than the origin server itself. Scope is intentionally tight: get the proxy correctly configured and protecting what's behind it, with clean handover documentation, rather than an open-ended security engagement. Deeper hardening of the origin servers themselves is a separate service if you need it.

FAQ

How fast is delivery?
Standard delivery is within 70 weekday hours (≈ 5 working days). Express delivery — within 42 weekday hours (≈ 3 working days) — costs 25% more.
Which platform should we use?
Cloudflare, Caddy, Traefik, or Nginx — your preference, or whatever fits your existing infrastructure. We configure the same protections (TLS, rate limiting, WAF, logging) regardless of platform.
Does this include hardening the servers behind the proxy?
No — this is the proxy layer itself. Hardening the origin servers is covered by The Linux Server Hardening service if you need both.
Is this the same as a fresh web server install?
No — a reverse proxy sits in front of an application that's already running and routes/protects traffic to it. A fresh web server install (The Web Server Install) sets up the origin server itself.
