Reverse proxy servers

Using a reverse proxy server in front of Studio adds another layer of protection to BDD by preventing users from accessing your servers directly.

A reverse proxy server sits in front of your other servers (the proxied servers) and assumes their public hostname. Clients can then access content on the proxied servers through the reverse proxy server without ever knowing the servers' real hostnames, which are often internal and sensitive.

In the context of BDD, a reverse proxy server enables end users to access Studio without directly connecting to the machines running it. For instructions on configuring this, see the Installation Guide.
