How the web works
Proxy
An intermediary that receives network requests and forwards, redirects or modifies them according to configured rules. A reverse proxy sits in front of services; some applications also run request logic near the network edge.
You might see: reverse proxy, edge proxy, request middleware
In a real project
Visitors reach one public address. A proxy forwards booking requests to the application and redirects an old workshop page to its current destination.
A common mistake
Relying on a redirect as the only access check. The protected server operation and data layer must still enforce their permission rules.
