How does Plex work?
hamiltont commented on Apr 20, 2014 1 Plex detects connections from localhost and allows these connections to modify server settings. Anyone with HTTP basic access suddenly has access to modify all your server settings. 2 apps such as Android, Roku, etc, don't always support basic auth. You can embed the U/P in the URL, but after trying to explain this to one family member over the phone I realized this is a bad solution if you have novice users

Why do we use proxy servers?
Proxy servers are used in many different places, often acting to take one resource or endpoint on the public internet and providing this (cached) to multiple back-end machines. For example, in the case of a corporate private network, a large file stored somewhere on the public internet that many people want to download might be cached by the proxy server to reduce bandwidth bills. When the proxy server sees requests coming to it from inside the private network (multiple people, presumably), it fetches the file once, then provides it from its cache to other requests it receives.
What is reverse proxy?
This reverse proxy, in turn, routes that request intelligently to the endpoints it knows about on the private network. To the public internet endpoint, this is transparent, and it appears as though all requests are coming from the same machine, when that might not actually be the case.
Does nginx match api path?
Next, you’ll match /api path requests coming into the Nginx reverse proxy. If someone has made this kind of request, you can assume they want to talk to the back-end component whose Docker container is listening on port 5000. Again, the path is matched but doesn’t have to be specified to proxy_pass, so a request to your_reverse_proxy.mybluemix.net/api/foobar will be forwarded on to http://your_hpvs_public_ip:5000/api/foobar.

Can you use reverse proxy to route traffic?
For example, you could route traffic calling any /api/ endpoint to the back-end component, and any other traffic to the frontend component. It’s easy to do this using a reverse proxy like Nginx, and this tutorial shows you how.
