Sends requests on behalf of users via NAT
. More general understanding of proxy, meaning the proxy understands how applications work; can be single use, like only for HTTP requests, or multifunction
. End users have to define within applications how to use the proxy
. Proxy that is invisible and automatically used
. Internal proxy commonly used to protect and control users use of the internet
. It's proxying requests coming from the internet into the system
. Controlled by a third party you may have no knowledge of; presents a security concern because it would allow you to go around the URL filtering of your organization's forward proxy
. Distributes traffic across many serversĀ in large scale implementations, and provides fault tolerance; can do things additionally like encrypt and decrypt, cache, etc to ease overall burden
. Style of balancing when each request is sent to another server in order in which they came - can be weighted or dynamic (picking server that has least load at the time)
. Style of balancing that uses the same server everytime for specific users or applications
. Type of load balancing config where one server is working and the other is on standby if needed .
