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😊

So nice of you

[@irfanshaik1302]

what a nice way to compliment someone 👏

[@aaronliu4924]

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.

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Aaron hope you could add your valuable feedback in future as well

[@mydemon]

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

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks a lot

[@luqmanfuadmuhasadz8736]

yeah i agree

[@EYNugget]

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

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Eric for your comment. Just tried to simplify complex stuff. Do checkout our other 19 tutorials on Google cloud and other technology. Cheers Anshul

[@Jan_Seidel]

I don't know no better way to explain it to someone who is not into IT :)

[@pallavkan]

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

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Pallav your comment made my day. Pls Keep supporting !!

[@sandygodu007]

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

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Sandeep

[@rindia84]

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).

[@RakibCan]

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

[@Hostlyy]

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

[@julie.8]

Concise video with excellent visuals and examples! Architecture review: 1. INTRANET [ Client requests Proxy (security of clients, better management of reqs, caching, encrypt/decrypt) ] INTERNET servers 2. INTERNET client requests INTRANET [ Reverse Proxy (security of servers, caching, compression, load balancing) Server(s) ]

[@ITkFunde]

Thank you Julie for summarizing :)

[@SK-jf3mm]

Hy julie

[@igordolvich9235]

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.

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Igor means a lot !!

[@poornanilkund9371]

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

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Poorna 🙏☺️

[@BradenJohnYoung]

This is the most intuitive explanation of a proxy I've ever heard. Excellent!

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Braden ☺️☺️🙏

[@jeanne7052]

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

[@theone3939]

Thank you for sharing. I'm new to network administration. I am by trade a Mechanical Technician. But, the cost living is going up. So, now I need a hirer paying job. I have many years experience in the electronic production industry, and I never consider network admin for a career. I have clearly made the right choice to stick with my new found career choice. I am so excited to start this new path. Yup, I am 47 yrs old man and want to change my career choice. I am now a subscriber. Have a great day.

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks and all the very best, Inam sure you will do great in this new found career and passion. 🙏

[@VPannagS]

In a nut shell: Proxy isolates clients from internet Reverse proxy isolates servers from internet

[@yourFifa13]

i understood proxy and reverse proxies but you finally made it click for me. proxies are essentially client side (benefit the clients) and reverse proxies benefit the business (server side)

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Ibrahim for this feedback :)

[@AbdulRahmanNoor]

Just watched the first minute of the video and absolutely loving this! Where was this all my life?

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Abdul ☺️☺️

[@trishul_bawankar]

3 years back was revising all the networking concepts for my first job and your channel came to rescue sir, Due to all your simple explanations got that job. Now once again came to your channel for rescue. Thank you and may god fulfill all your wishes.

[@ilyas1583]

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

[@ITkFunde]

Thank you Ilyas for your support and wishes !!

[@avishetty8]

I understand now how the proxy works. Can you also explain how the responses are delivered. As the servers might be listening on specific ports, but don't understand on which ports the requestors might be listening.

[@lisaknieriem5852]

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 ❤️😉

[@coldCoders]

You know this is genuine teaching when you do not see advertisements or sponsors.. Love your teaching

[@hrishabhg]

Simple yet Marvelous explanation. :) I also love the video being noise-free.

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Hrishabh

[@kenanenzama4055]

No complicated language. You completely simplified this for me. Thank you.

[@benjaminayangbola1773]

If there was a love button, I'd use that instead. You just distilled the concept of proxy and reverse proxy in simple language. When I saw the parent-children analogy, I knew this was the video I needed. Thumbs up, man!

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Benjamin I do have a love button while replying to your lovely comment and that is superrr clicked 🙏☺️

[@wasifalam545]

[@baberali95]

[@enggarantin7580]

A proxy server acts as a gateway between you and the internet. It's an intermediary server separating end users from the websites they browse. ... Proxy servers act as a firewall and web filter, provide shared network connections, and cache data to speed up common requests.

[@ART-gn3ps]

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

[@margento60]

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

[@yuvabhagvatkathakarshriyag9305]

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

[@bethuprashanth9820]

Well explained 👏👏.. Small question... I have load balancer for my k8s cluster... Can this LB secure my application as proxy server does? Like firewall, encryption, caching, securing???

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Benthu load balancer and reverse proxy server are quite similar in a way that both become the public face of your backend application. LB is diff in a way that in case of huge demand LB can help balance incoming requests. However even if youbhave single app server then too reverse proxy can be setup to hide its identity from public. Products like NGINX provide both LB and Reverse Proxy capabilities into one. Hope it helps. Thanks Anshul Tiwari
