Performance Analysis of Reverse Proxy and Web Application Firewall with Telegram Bot as Attack Notification On Web Server

Abstract

Sophisticated technology in the world has been developing very rapidly, especially in terms of accessing all the information that is on the web. Website is one of technological sophistication that presents various kinds of information needed, from children to adults easily accessing websites on the internet. Unwittingly the number of accesses made by users around the world causes a web server or a place that provides a website will be weak and can occur down. When a web server becomes weak, hackers will use it to attack the web server, retrieve data, important information, and even more fatal is when user data is stolen and misused by hackers. The web developers only focus on a website appearance but do not focus on access and security of the website. Therefore, we need an optimal web server that can accommodate the many accesses caused by users and the security of the web server to safeguard data and information stored. This research applies a package namely Reverse Proxy which is used to optimize a web server and Web Application Firewall which is used to maintain the security of a web server.
