@@ -6,6 +6,16 @@ a simple, authenticated reverse-proxy server.
this is intended for simple use cases, like if you have a weird little web app that may have some
security concerns that you'd still like to be able to access on the public internet.
+what does this do?
+------------------
+
+phlox is a normal reverse-proxy server, except it refuses
+to let you access anything it's proxying unless you are
+signed in. if you try, it just redirects you to the login
+page.
+
+you can set custom login and error pages to customize phlox.
