+
+In computer networks, a reverse proxy is the application that sits in front of back-end applications and forwards client requests to those applications.
+
+To implement reverse proxy we are using an npm package named `http-proxy`. Here is a sample implementation of reverse proxy:
+
+```
+const app = require('express')()
+const httpProxy = require("http-proxy");
+
+// target - url string to be targeted
+const apiProxy = httpProxy.createProxyServer({
+  target: "https://deals.example.com",
+  changeOrigin: true,
+});
+
+/* ignorePath - true/false, Default: false - specify whether you want to ignore the proxy path of the incoming request (note: you will have to append / manually if required) */
+
+app.get("/deals", (req, res) => {
+  apiProxy.web(req, res, { ignorePath: true });
+});
+
+```
