Which advantage does a Reverse Proxy NOT provide?

The advantage that is typically not provided by a Reverse Proxy is session persistence. Reverse proxies are primarily used for distributing workloads, enhancing security, and accelerating web traffic. They can improve security by hiding the identity and structure of backend servers and can also facilitate scalability by balancing loads across multiple servers. Additionally, reverse proxies often cache content, contributing to web acceleration.

Session persistence, also known as "sticky sessions," means that a user is consistently routed to the same backend server during a session. While reverse proxies can be configured to support session persistence, it is not a fundamental feature or advantage of using a reverse proxy. Instead, session persistence is more commonly associated with load balancers that manage user sessions to ensure that requests from the same user are sent to the same server. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that session persistence is an inherent benefit of a reverse proxy, setting it apart from the other advantages listed.
