    Caddy is a very simple reverse proxy which handles the https redirect by default, other proxies are http by default and you have to manually configure the redirect. Also caddy automatically handles the TLS certificate for HTTPS with http challenge by default (need port 80 open) or with DNS challenge (you need to build caddy with your DNS module and type the API key)
