Understanding Reverse Proxy with Zendesk
What is a reverse proxy and how does it work with Zendesk?
A reverse proxy acts as an intermediary for requests from web clients to Zendesk. It intercepts these requests and forwards them to Zendesk, meaning the web clients never communicate directly with Zendesk. This setup can be useful for organizations wanting a single point of access or using their own CDN. However, it's a non-standard use case and may lead to issues like bot management challenges and rate limiting. For more details, check theoriginal link.
