It manages SSL certificates, enforces TLS versions, and offloads cryptographic overhead from your applications. For self-hosters running multiple services behind a single public IP, a good TLS termination proxy is essential infrastructure. If you&rsquo;re also evaluating <a href="../haproxy-vs-envoy-vs-%5Bnginx%5D(https://nginx.org/)-load-balancer-guide/">load balancing options</a>, note that many load balancers double as TLS termination proxies — the line between the two roles is often blurred.</p>https://www.pistack.xyz/posts/self-hosted-web-proxy-squid-tinyproxy-caddy-guide/Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pistack.xyz/posts/self-hosted-web-proxy-squid-tinyproxy-caddy-guide/<p>Running your own web proxy gives you full control over how your network traffic flows.
