Hey! Sorry for the repeating question, I have a very specific question though.

For context, I access my services using a vpn, and that’s been great. However, I’ve been a lot of people mentioning reverse proxies. Are they necessary or more of a convenience thing? I ask because I don’t see something that I cannot do with my current vpn setup.

Thanks!

    If you use your services for yourself or family, you don’t need a reversed proxy, but to share some of your services to the public or your friends, you need a reversed proxy in order to let them use/remember your domain name without knowing your public ip given by your isp; for convenience and security reason.
