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

Wait, so if I’m using a forward proxy (like Tor), does that mean my server *can’t* see my real IP?

And reverse proxies… do they *have* to be on the same network as the server?

Asking ‘cause I’m setting up a homelab and this forward vs reverse proxy thing is low-key overwhelming.
