    Thank you, Tony! I was feeling ambiguity around the process of configuring Nginx for this, but you have reaffirmed how simple it can be from the Nginx documentation. This video helped me make huge gains for a system design project at a programming school. Blessings to you!

    Thanks for the informative video. Question(s): 1. Can this cache be used for Json data as well? How do we make sure that nginx does not get confused with the auth tokens that keep changing with every request? 2. When it comes to the static content that is living on the same physical box, how does the caching server make it faster?

If I am looking to serve static content (js,css, png, gif, etc) and couple of REST API dynamic PHP calls as well, and say i have to serve these static assets at the same time to 20,000 concurrent users, will this approach to add cache server in front of a origin nginx server, will that be helpful, if so to what extent?

    Does this work for Bitnami NGINX? The var/cache/nginx folder doesn't get auto-created and manually doing so causes the directory to be unwritable resulting in the response header to be missing caching instructions.

    The transparent-proxy and cache probably cannot work for "win11 file-manager" due to the sabotaged browers and other- OS.sss with advertising being number-1 and everything else (games) will only load after forced-advertising(duration, times) thus making advertising the owner of devices. If the video is down due to advertising-servers being cut-off due to internet tier-one exchanges in disagreement due to war or just women-meeting micro-managing... just boot into linux and use the browser for something else like internet-TV

    With Wordpress you can user Redis or fastCGI at server level and then have a plugin to delete cache when needed. Or get a easy server stack such as Wordops, Centminmod etc. that makes it easy to setup and change stuff.
