How to host a web server behind Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 router

My 2 year broadband contract ended with StarHub a few months ago and I signed up for a dual broadband (Cable + Fibre) contract for the Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO gigabit router.

With the new broadband subscription, the D-Link DIR-868L router from my earlier contract sits behind the cable modem while the new Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO gigabit router sits behind my fibre optic modem.

Since I want my reverse proxy server to serve HTTP traffic via the fibre optic network, I had to configure my Linksys router so that my Raspbian Jessie Lite reverse proxy server can serve HTTP traffic from the Internet.

To have a reference on how to do that again when need be, this post documents the steps that I took to host a web server, which serves as a reverse proxy server, behind the Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream AC1900 router.
