Fastly uses the H2O reverse proxy for fast and secure TLS termination over QUIC, HTTP/3, HTTP/2, and 1.1.
The project site compares its benchmarks only to Nginx. I'd love to see a more recent comparison that includes ATS (Apache Traffic Server), HAProxy, and Varnish/Hitch as fellow reverse proxies for TLS termination.
Linux/devops/web question. Are there open alternatives to cloudflare's "tunnel thingy"?
Say that I want to host my website https://samuels.bitar.se on a raspberry pi at home but I don't want to expose my home ip, how would I solve this? I know I can do it with Cloudflare but I don't want to use Cloudflare. Can I setup like an nginx proxy on a VPS and do like an ssh tunnel or something? Or are there other solutions?
I learned abour zrok but I don't know if that will work.
@samuel if your content is (partly, semi) static, using a caching reverse proxy can help reduce bandwidth used on your origin uplink and improve "speed" (reduce latencies, increase bandwidth) for your users. some options are #apachetrafficserver#freenginx and #varnishcache, only to name a few. my recommendation should be obvious, but you have the choice and a lot of options.
as a pure (non caching) forwarding tcp or http proxy #haproxy is a good choice.
