Increasing local site reach with nginx reverse proxy
Sometimes our partners and friends like the Antispam company from Holland or the nice guys at Opera Software pump enormous amounts of traffic. Without warning and within seconds, when they roll out their Software updates. Then tradebit feels slow and does not really make fun to use.
Today we have played around with a new tool to divert traffic closer to the users: nginx
The concept of proxies is as old as the net, but this little tool is worth to be mentioned, because it is so small and powerful, that we instantly fell in love with it. Easy installation and easy configuration. The reverse proxy for Germany was online within 1 hour. There are already a few glamorous success stories out on the web.
Well done software, a must-have for internet geeks, who pump a lot of traffic globally!
