Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time?
ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 1 day agoUmm… Not sure if you are serious but knowledge is meant to be shared so… A reverse proxy isn’t really for convenience, it sits between two networks and proxies traffic according to specific rules. It also has the benefit of masking the origin server a bit (like its IP) and in a lot of cases can be used as a way to ensure traffic going to a server or service that doesn’t support transport encryption actually transverses the internet within a secure tunnel.

Yes, that’s why I said mostly. In this context reverse proxy is being used to access different ports via 80/443 from outside. That is not necessarily the use case you’re mentioning.
