Re: Some questions about launch a reverse proxy. (Apache Users)

Hi;

The WAF and web server can reside in a single host and the reverse proxy in another host or you can also install WAF with the Reverse proxy (Nginx).

The Internet------->Reverse Prox(Public IP)---------->WAF and Apache(Private IP)

The Internet------->WAF and Reverse Prox(Public IP)---------->Apache(Private IP)

Hello,
I want to launch a ModSecurity or an IDS\IPS as a reverse proxy and I have some questions. I'm a beginner and I'm thankful if anyone help me. My goal is:

The Internet --> WAF or IDS\IPS --> Web Server

My questions are:
1- On WAF server, I need Apache too?
2- Should I set the web server public IP address on the WAF server and it forward all requests to my web server with a local IP address? Or both servers need separate public IP address? Or WAF needs a public IP and Web server need a local IP?

Excuse me if my questions are odd.

Thank you.
