What is a Proxy?

[@VBaee]

how do you know if your purchasing a full or half proxy?

[@devcentral]

Thanks for the comment! You'd really need to discuss with whatever vendor you're looking at. One sign would be needing to configure a client side TCP connection and a separate config for the server side.

[@VBaee]

F5 DevCentral thank you!⚡️💕

[@thatfunkyduck]

Great video, thank you! I have a question about the half proxy example at 2:35 (the streaming protocol example): So after the initial setup, where the proxy makes the initial request to the server, the stream is setup from the server directly back to the client, skipping the proxy entirely. If this is the case, what is the point of the proxy server in the first place? Why even use one initially if the destination IP address for packets in the stream are going to be the client's IP anyway?

[@devcentral]

Hi Evan~ thanks for the note! Orgs might want to have the proxy do things like L3/4 port switching, routing, NAT’ing or some protocol checks. Any networking layer type functions or inspections. It also might be better to terminate on the proxy rather than having folks initially hit it direct. The return is a straight shoot tho. Appreciate the comment!

[@Naz-yi9bs]

I was thinking the same, I assumed it might benefit a user if the server, say in this case (Netflix) responded by directly communicating with the client and bypassing the proxy server because it would establish a faster connection(I'm not sure if this is where bandwidth also comes into play). Like you, I thought that was pointless aswell because it defeats the purpose of the proxy server. However, there could be a scenario, say like steaming, where requests by a client are blocked but not responses by a server.

On your camera, the shutter speed should be double the amount of the frame rate. On this video your shutter is too low 1/5 or something. It should be 1/50

[@devcentral]

Thanks for the note! Yes, we were having some frame rate challenges back when this was produced but we've since matched the camera speed with the additional elements for a smoother look. Great catch and appreciate the comment!

[@devcentral]

Thanks for the question. In the context of this video, a client would be a PC, tablet, mobile device , browser, etc that is requesting the content...and the application is in the data center/cloud delivering the requested info. Does that help?

[@gauravsa1]

Thanks Peter! Wonderful video

[@BijouBakson]

The way you explain it here I don't see any difference between a reverse proxy and a forward proxy apart from how the proxy is being used on the network. It seems like you're describing a retailer and a customer. Everyone is a customer somewhere and everyone can also be a retailer some other place. Or, did I miss something? Can you use your forward proxy as a reverse proxy and vice versa?

[@devcentral]

Depending on the configuration and capabilities of the controller, sure. In fact, a single proxy can run both FP/RP for different clients. FP allows multiple clients to route traffic to an external network and a RP routes traffic for multiple servers. Full proxies have separate TCP connections on either end, you just have to tell it what to do and which way to go. :-) Thanks for the comment!!

Hi Peter! I was wondering if this reverse proxy could be implemented to filter client requests from outside network to get license in virtual servers. Is it possible in terms of security or I have to create a DMZ to increase security? Thanks a Lot. Alexandre

Very good video help me a lot

[@tubbalcain]

I'm late to the party, but still... I have one question. Suppose I use a layer 7 proxy and this one can do all the nice stuff these kind of proxy's are able to, in contrary to the layer 4- I'm just passing on- proxy. And now I connect to my bank and I negotiate my TLS handshake with them to establish the secure E2EE connection. But since the full proxy is in the middle, able to terminate TLS, inspect the data, change headers, and so on.. How do I know that my 'secure' connection with my bank isn't tamper with? And is a socks5 proxy than the better (security) solution, since I doesn't rewrite data packets?

[@TopTechTalent]

For certain connections (like financial or compliance related) BIG-IP can be configured to allow/pass that encrypted traffic unaltered.

[@tubbalcain]

@@TopTechTalent thanks for your answer, I appreciate that.. I'm indeed awere that you can send/make the tunnel request via HTTP(s) CONNECT and when the proxy established TCP, it will send the HTTP(s) 200 OK back to the client and the proxy will mearly function as a relay, while full E2EE is in place. But since this process is outside the hands of the consumer... I wonder, can't get my head around it😁, when you can trust the proxy /load balancer to behave in this manner.

[@TopTechTalent]

@@tubbalcain you can configure a socks profile on BIG-IP: clouddocs.f5.com/cli/tmsh-reference/v13/modules/ltm/ltm_profile_socks.html As for trusting your financial institution to do the right thing? One can only hope. :-)

@@TopTechTalent thanks, I will look into it 👍👍

[@kwangee]

So Nginx reverse proxy is full proxy? Example software of half proxy is?

[@shaneyh97]

does the client close connections to the proxy or directly to the application via half proxy

[@TopTechTalent]

Any HTTP client, server, or proxy can close a TCP transport connection at any time. Often it is the server side due to timeout. A full-proxy terminating SSL would have the control over connections.

Before publishing his video, he flipped it horizontally. Basically, when he filmed himself writing on glass, he was actually in the right hand side of the screen, writing with his right hand and all of his writings were on the left side of the screen which would have appeared backwards to us. So when editing his video, he "flipped it horizontally" or "mirrored" the whole video.

Nice but youve said a couple of times "Layer 4 routing". ???? Layer 3 is actually routing unless your trying to trip up novice CCNA testers to fail that question. Hehe

[@devcentral]

Indeed packet routing is a layer 3 function. The concept here is taking requests and choosing a destination, thus "routing" that request to a specific back end resource. That said, traditional routing still occurs on the wire between networked devices at layer 3. No confusion intended!

[@shantilalpatel3361]

May be not!. What if he is writing as usual but video is flipped (right to left) after recording so it shows up normal? This of course would have required logos to be printed on shirt as a mirror image and him to write with his right hand (may be he is already right handed). Hint: Men's shirt usually have buttons on shirt's right go into strip on left side but here it seems to be the other way. Seems it is easy to get mirrored logos printed on a ready-made shirt but to flip over the buttons to other side is difficult.
