What records might a reverse-proxy provider hold?

A reverse-proxy provider may hold customer, origin, routing, access and request records about both the public service and the hidden origin.

What to do

Possible records include account and billing data, configured domains, origin addresses, certificates, administrative access, request logs, security events, routing changes and support communications. Historic origin data may be more important than the current setup.

Key takeaway

Use the proxy provider to identify the next link in the chain.
