ASP.NET Core hosting (formerly ASP.NET 5 hosting) by ASP.NET experts at DiscountASP.NET.

• • You can use Kestrel by itself or with a reverse proxy server, such as IIS, Nginx, or Apache. A reverse proxy server receives HTTP requests from the Internet and forwards them to Kestrel after some preliminary handling. Either configuration — with or without a reverse proxy server — can also be used if Kestrel is exposed only to an internal network.

For information about when to use Kestrel with a reverse proxy, see. If your application accepts requests only from an internal network, you can use Kestrel by itself. If you expose your application to the Internet, you must use IIS, Nginx, or Apache as a reverse proxy server. A reverse proxy server receives HTTP requests from the Internet and forwards them to Kestrel after some preliminary handling, as shown in the following diagram.

The most important reason for using a reverse proxy for edge deployments (exposed to traffic from the Internet) is security. The 1.x versions of Kestrel don't have a full complement of defenses against attacks.

This includes, but isn't limited to, appropriate timeouts, size limits, and concurrent connection limits. For information about when to use Kestrel with a reverse proxy, see. You can't use IIS, Nginx, or Apache without Kestrel or a.

ASP.NET Core was designed to run in its own process so that it can behave consistently across platforms. IIS, Nginx, and Apache dictate their own startup process and environment; to use them directly, ASP.NET Core would have to adapt to the needs of each one.

Using a web server implementation such as Kestrel gives ASP.NET Core control over the startup process and environment. So rather than trying to adapt ASP.NET Core to IIS, Nginx, or Apache, you just set up those web servers to proxy requests to Kestrel. This arrangement allows your Program.Main and Startup classes to be essentially the same no matter where you deploy. IIS with Kestrel When you use IIS or IIS Express as a reverse proxy for ASP.NET Core, the ASP.NET Core application runs in a process separate from the IIS worker process. In the IIS process, a special IIS module runs to coordinate the reverse proxy relationship. This is the ASP.NET Core Module. The primary functions of the ASP.NET Core Module are to start the ASP.NET Core application, restart it when it crashes, and forward HTTP traffic to it.
