I believe they mean bringing the SSL/TLS handshake closer to the user is beneficial, it doesn't mean the proxy doesn't use SSL/TLS to its upstreams. In this post they say specifically it is about the handshake: https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2017/06/evolution-of-dropboxs... I don't know if they use SSL/TLS to their upstreams, I'm just saying terminating in at the edge doesn't mean that is the end of all SSL/TLS. It is totally normal to terminate SSL/TLS at the edge, pretty much anyone using an HTTPS load balancer or CDN does it, but the LB or CDN can still use SSL/TLS to the upstreams and verify certificates of upstreams. |
