Proxies | System Design Tutorials | Part 4 | 2020

Thanks for wonderful content and knowledge.

So much quality info in such a short time, thank you so much.

Thanks

I love the example of proxy that happens in your school/college lectures. Brings back good memories from so 2 decades ago (even though it was undesirable behaviour, but that's what you would need if you had a unreal-tournament LAN tournament the night before).

Not sure if kids in this age of zoom would understand what that even means.

PS: great content. thank you so much. really helpful. greetings from Sweden.

Videos is very clear and understandable. Thanks for this tutorial 🎉

Mam your videos are very easy , understandable and effective .. thanku for this

I think all the phishing and pharming sites are examples for reverse proxy...

Can one server behave as a forward as well as a reverse proxy? Think why or why not?
ans :It's also possible to use the same software to configure both a forward and a reverse proxy. For example, Nginx and the Apache web server are both commonly used as a reverse proxy in enterprise architectures. These two pieces of software can be configured to act as a forward proxy as well

forward proxy: VPN
reverse proxy: NGINX

are load balancers proxies ?

so like when we try to fetch an API ...does that API works as a proxy to the user ???

VPN act as a forward proxy
firewall Act as a reverse Proxy

Thanks for the video 🥳

In case of reverse proxy , It will be single point failure .... How to overcome ?

Ex forward proxy: MyChart (Electronic Medical Records)

Ex reverse proxy: credit card companies sending data to individual websites for purchasing merchandise.

Is this correct?

So in case of reverse forward proxies is it a possibility for a client to know IP address of server ?

What is the difference between nginx and AWS load balancer? Both can be reverse proxy right?

Thanks Yogita It is very simple way explaining I like it very much thanks to share valuable knowledge

VPN - Forward Proxy
Load Balancer - Reverse Proxy

Her examples are a little misleading.

This is One of the great and simplified system design play list.
I added it favourite ❤️ and shared with my friends. Thanks yogita for this great tech content!

YOGITA you are really good ! love your teaching style.

Torrent sites are best example for proxy sites

VPN can act as forward proxies, pirate proxy can be an example of reverse proxy

so let me get this straight:
forward proxy : client wants to talk to server but does it through the proxy.
reverse proxy: client talks to the server but doesnt know who the pit boss is but sends the message through the proxy.

can you please make a video on expenses, savings, income , ease of finding tech job in Dubai and whether something is deducted on sending money to India

Correct answer for the quiz?

broker is a proxy already :)

great work, I am really impressed with this content!

Doesn't this increase the latency of request ? If yes, then how we can overcome it or is it a tradeoff to achieve other non functional requirements?

Can we say DNS server is a reverse proxy?

Super :)

A single server cannot act as a forward as well as reverse proxy because there are logical operations that cannot be performed by a single server , also there will be threat to security if we use a single server for both the proxies.

This content is quite easy, even a layman can understand it. Thanks Yogita.
I have a query. Where does a proxy stands in network ?

VPNs are a somewhat similar to proxy servers

For the quiz: I can not see any difficulty or blocker for making a proxy act in both way, reverse and forward.

Very crisp, concise and straight to the point. Thanks a lot, Yogita. 🙏.
I have one question.
Can we use Nginx as reverse proxy as well as load balancer?

Thanks again.

In both cases of forward and reverse proxy, the client and server donot know their respective IPs. Thats the idea of proxies.. Can you pl share any good implementations of Nginx as forward and reverse proxies...Nginx has been a popular reverse proxy. though

Answer :
if a server can make requests to other servers and collect data and respond by it back to the client request, then it can be used as a reverse proxy

These are great videos. Please continue making such System Design videos

I'm experienced Technical Manager but wanted to brush up my knowledge to prepare for an interview, this whole channel is a lifesaver. Thanks Yogita for your hard work.

Eg for both proxy

Thanks for such a nice and concise course on system design... Very Helpful Keep It Up! Blessings

I started watching this series and I love your lectures but you look a lot like my ex and Its soooo damn distracting. 🥺

The analogies given by you to establish your point takes everything to another level of understanding and that probably would never fade away from me.

Great video 🎉 .. mam can we compare reverse proxy as API gateway ?

had started watching these videos to learn from basics , but you are using jargons from the very beginning , very confusing

does client know the IP of server in forward proxy?

The best course on the internet to get a proper understanding of system design!

Can API gateway be an example of reverse proxy?

Thank you!
