Re: "Do you use a reverse proxy?"
You should probably add "what's a reverse proxy?"

I'm looking for caching proxy only, to store visited pages for the offline reading
- won't delegate this feature to browser

nginx proxy manager here :-)
Didn't have any issues with it ... yet

nginx, because I had different gemini services. Now I have shut down one and the other would be a bubble instance, which still doesn't work behind a proxy (and I have shut down that too, even because there were no users - it was for Italian people). So now the proxy is not very useful to me, in that regard.
I personally never used a reverse proxy, I might've read about it, but I'm not sure.
was seriously considering setting one up, but couldn't remember my home router password to punch a DMZ port. Forgot about it until now. Guess I don't need it that much.
Idem. I use nginx as reverse proxy. The Geminispace is not a local network.
Original Post
Do you use a reverse proxy? — Using a reverse proxy is kinda the default for the "normal" web, but what about gemini? on one hand, you probably don't need it right now with the current community size (and how nice people seem to behave). on the other hand, I don't want to blindly trust the internet to not be mean to server infrastructure and I'm not sure if every gemini server out there has protection mechanisms like basic rate-limiting.
