1. A computer-implemented system for facilitating a discreet connection between a user and a service, comprising:
a service server executing the service for the user to connect to without any detectable direct contact between the user and the service;
a first reverse proxy configured to establish a first reverse proxy connection with the user to set up the discreet connection, wherein an invitation indicating a mechanism comprising visiting a URL to access the first reverse proxy connection is provided to the user;
wherein access credentials or a mechanism for obtaining the access credentials are transmitted to the user over the first reverse proxy connection, the access credentials including an address for accessing a second reverse proxy connection, the first reverse proxy connection being disconnected following delivery of the access credentials; and
wherein the second reverse proxy connection is configured to facilitate the discreet connection between the user and the service without any detectable direct contact with the service.
