Reverse proxies can conceal the IP address and other identifying features of origin servers, allowing for improved anonymity and heightened security for your website’s origin server.

GSLB is an advanced load-balancing method for distributing website traffic among many servers placed strategically worldwide. It’s typically done via anycast routing technique, where the reverse proxy picks the server node based on the fastest travel time between the client and the server.

Not only does GSLB increase the site’s reliability and security considerably, but it also reduces latency and load times, thereby enhancing user experience. You can use GSLB with other network optimization techniques, such as spoon-feeding, to further free up the origin servers’ computational resources.
