Laravel Proxy Package

What are the use of this package?

• Automated Configuration: The package automates the configuration process for Laravel apps deployed behind reverse proxy web servers. This is beneficial because it eliminates the need for repetitive manual configuration each time the app is deployed, saving time and reducing the potential for human error.

• Asset Handling: One of the key issues it addresses is the incorrect serving of built and dynamic assets. Reverse proxies can sometimes cause issues with how assets are delivered to the client, and this package ensures that assets are served correctly without additional manual adjustments.

• Quick Setup: By using this package, developers can quickly set up their Laravel application for deployment behind a reverse proxy, making the deployment process more efficient.
