# Traefik 
Traefik is a reverse proxy and load balancer that helps manage network traffic to your applications, ensuring better performance and reliability.

It is configured with  cloudfare to request a less encrypt wildcard certificate [*.office.kh3group.com](*.office.kh3group.com) used by most of the locally hosted services In KH3’s IT infrastructure. Furthermore it is set up automatically to renew the wildcard certificate on 3-month schedule, this ensures it is always up to date. Also it acts as a reverse proxy, working with pinhole that acts as a local DNS to ensure that locally hosted services are reachable by their host name e.g: you can access KH3’s IT documentation on any device on the KH3 local network by visiting [docs.office.kh3group.com](docs.office.kh3group.com)
