In the previous article, we explored the general principles of proxy servers and their classification. Now it’s time to dive into specific solutions, and we’ll start with Nginx (pronounced “engine-x”) — one of the most popular and high-performance web servers and a powerful reverse proxy. Nginx plays a key role in modern web infrastructure, powering millions of websites worldwide.

In today’s internet-driven world, where data constantly travels between millions of devices, it’s often not enough to establish a direct connection — you may need a “middleman.” That’s where a proxy server comes in. It acts as a bridge between you (the client) and the destination resource (server), handling network requests on your behalf. Understanding how proxies work is critical for network security, optimization, and access management.
What is a Proxy Server?
A proxy server (from the English proxy — representative, intermediary) is a server in a computer network that acts as an intermediary between a user (client) and other internet servers. All client requests go through the proxy first, which then forwards them to the destination server. Responses from the destination server also return to the proxy first before being sent back to the client.

I want to express my great gratitude to the specialist who configured SEO-friendly URLs for me on OpenCart. Setting up the URLs turned out to be easy and simple, and I’m glad that I finally found a professional who did everything efficiently and without unnecessary complications. Before that I changed four specialists, and each time there were problems with the configuration, but this person handled the task perfectly.
Answer: Thank you for the detailed review!
I look forward to further cooperation.

Mikhail clarified all the details of how everything is set up for me, asked for access to assess the feasibility of solving the issue, since he had not encountered such a service before.
He quickly figured it out and solved my problem.
Perfect cooperation)

I will perform a full audit and fix 5XX errors on the site:
- 500 Internal Server Error
- 502 Bad Gateway
- 503 Service Unavailable
- 504 Gateway Timeout
I will check configurations of Nginx/Apache, PHP-FPM, database and eliminate the root causes of the failures.
I will set up optimizations so these errors do not recur.
Result — a stable site without crashes or hidden issues.
