I'm using Apache (port 80) and GeoServer (port 8080) on Windows 7. I guess I need to set up a proxy if I want to use WFS, since they're on different ports.

My kind of silly question is, can I avoid it? If I re-set my website on GeoServer's www file, is everything going to work fine? Does GeoServer share the same characteristics with Apache?

If GeoServer's www file is a bad idea can you please help me set up a proxy? I never done it before, so if you have a link with an analytical tutorial, it would be great...
