[b]"What's the difference between forward proxy vs reverse proxy? Which one should I use?"[/b] Alternatively: [b]"

Yo, the way I see it:

Forward proxy = your team’s mask.
Reverse proxy = your server’s shield.

Need privacy or control? Forward proxy.
Need speed or security? Reverse proxy.

Tools? Try HAProxy for reverse, or Privoxy if you’re messing with forward proxies.
