What's the difference between proxy vs reverse proxy? Which one should I use? Alternatively, if you prefer a

Thanks for all the insights, folks! This clears up a ton.

I’m gonna spin up Nginx as a reverse proxy for my site—seems like the way to go for SSL and load balancing.

Quick follow-up: Anyone have a favorite config snippet for Nginx to block bad bots? Or is Cloudflare enough for that?

Also, Traefik sounds dope. Gonna check that out next.

Appreciate the help!

Yo, solid question!

Proxies are like your disguise online. Reverse proxies are your bodyguards.

For websites, reverse proxies (like Nginx) handle SSL, load balancing, and even serve static files faster.

For personal use, a proxy or VPN is enough.

Tools:
- Nginx (reverse)
- Squid (forward)

Pro tip: Reverse proxies can also rate-limit abusive traffic.
