A reverse proxy allows the Minecraft BlueMap interface to be accessed through a standard web address rather than requiring a direct connection to a raw IP address and port. This setup functions as a secure gateway that masks the server's actual host address, ensuring the private network location remains invisible to the public. By directing web traffic through this intermediary service, the connection appears more professional while hiding the underlying server IP address.

Requirement: BlueMap must be installed. Learn how to here.
