Why Reverse Proxy

A reverse proxy is a type of proxy server that takes HTTP(S) requests and transparently distributes them to one or more backend servers. Reverse proxies are useful because many modern web applications process incoming HTTP requests using backend application servers which aren't meant to be accessed by users directly and often only support rudimentary HTTP features. You can use a reverse proxy to prevent these underlying application servers from being directly accessed. They can also be used to distribute the load from incoming requests to several different application servers, increasing performance at scale and providing fail-safeness. They can fill in the gaps with features the application servers don't offer, such as caching, compression, or SSL encryption too.

Prerequisites

  1. CentOS 7 Droplet with root/sudo access
  2. Apache 2 installed on your CentOS 7
  3. Optionally, the nano/vim text editor
yum install httpd
apachectl restart
systemctl status httpd
apachectl -t

Required Modules

The modules that are needed to use Apache as a reverse proxy include mod_proxy itself and several of its add-on modules, which extend its functionality to support different network protocols. Specifically, we will be using:

  1. mod_proxy, the main proxy module Apache module for redirecting connections; it allows Apache to act as a gateway to the underlying application servers.
  2. mod_proxy_http, which adds support for proxying HTTP connections.
  3. mod_proxy_balancer and mod_lbmethod_byrequests, which add load balancing features for multiple backend servers.


The command output will list all enabled Apache modules. The four lines you're looking for are the aforementioned module names:

httpd -M
# console output 
proxy_module (shared)
.... more ....
lbmethod_byrequests_module (shared)
.... more ....
proxy_balancer_module (shared)
proxy_http_module (shared)
.... more ....

In case the modules are not enabled, you can enable them by opening the /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-proxy.conf with vi, vim or nano

Check Apache Config

apachectl -t
# apachectl restart
systemctl restart httpd
# grant network connection to apache 
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on

Check Reverse Proxy

All configuration done! Right now need to check either your are able access http://dev.chorke.org/init/ or not, instead of http://dev.chorke.org:8304/init. Then you should prevent direct access to http://dev.chorke.org:8304/init.
