A reverse proxy acts as a firewall / gateway to redirect external HTTP requests to WorkflowGen in intranet. This is a network side feature, so it should normally be functional with WorkflowGen.

The [Setup IIS with URL Rewrite as a reverse proxy for real world apps](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/friis/2016/08/25/setup-iis-with-url-rewrite-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-real-world-apps/) MSDN article provides an example of a solution. You can also refer to your network or server administrator for technical implementation.
