Fastly uses the H2O reverse proxy for fast and secure TLS termination over QUIC, HTTP/3, HTTP/2, and 1.1.

The project site compares its benchmarks only to Nginx. I'd love to see a more recent comparison that includes ATS (Apache Traffic Server), HAProxy, and Varnish/Hitch as fellow reverse proxies for TLS termination.

@samuel if your content is (partly, semi) static, using a caching reverse proxy can help reduce bandwidth used on your origin uplink and improve "speed" (reduce latencies, increase bandwidth) for your users. some options are #apachetrafficserver #freenginx and #varnishcache, only to name a few. my recommendation should be obvious, but you have the choice and a lot of options.
as a pure (non caching) forwarding tcp or http proxy #haproxy is a good choice.
