Slimbot
HostingWhat is Reverse Proxy?
A reverse proxy intelligently routes incoming traffic to the right application behind the scenes. This allows you to make multiple services work together via one address and keep components shielded. This makes your setup more secure and clearer, without visitors noticing anything.
How does it work?
- You specify which services should be behind which address or path.
- Slimbot sets up the redirects for you in the dashboard.
- The platform automatically directs each visitor to the right application.
- The secure padlock and distribution are arranged immediately.
Use cases
Business that places a website and a separate customer portal under the same domain.
Webshop with a blog on a subpath alongside the shop.
Agency shielding an API behind one central, secured address.
Organisation that neatly bundles multiple internal tools under one entry point.
Benefits
- Multiple services feel like one coherent site for visitors.
- Components remain isolated and better secured.
- Clear management from one place in the dashboard.
- The secure padlock applies automatically to the entire setup.
Frequently asked questions
When do I need a reverse proxy?
As soon as you want to run multiple applications or services under one domain, or want to protect parts. For a single simple site it's not necessary.
Do I have to set this up myself?
No. You specify what goes where, and Slimbot handles the redirects for you. It remains clear in the dashboard.
Will my visitors notice this?
No. For the visitor it feels like one whole; the forwarding happens invisibly behind the scenes.
