It acts as a middleman between your device and the servers that host the websites or apps. It makes sure the requests from your device are sent to the right server and evenly distributed among multiple servers. This helps the websites and apps run faster and stay reliable, even when lots of people are using them. Think of it like a traffic controller that keeps everything running smoothly on the internet. 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)
