Also, from there - this is not a web server, but a proxy server. So, to answer your question - to serve web pages you need Apache Web Server. If you need proxy, you can use either Traffic server, or another proxy server like Squid. If you need a reverse proxy, you can use either Apache Trafic Server, Apache Web Server, Nginx, HAProxy
