Depends on what exactly you need: Just a fast stable and secure proxy to load-balance and provide a secure frontend: haproxy (incredibly stable and fast, but only does proxy and load-balancing) Popular webserver that runs as a proxy and does SSL unwrap: Apache (heavy, lots of modules) NGinx (light, fewer add-on capabilities) Caching frontend to reduce load on your web servers: Squid (very heavy and lots of tuning needed to get it just right)
