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

OP here—wow, didn’t expect so many gems in the replies!

The forward vs reverse proxy thing makes way more sense now, especially the caching + security angles.

Gonna try Caddy for my side project since y’all made it sound easy.

One last Q: Any gotchas when mixing both? Like, does order matter (forward *then* reverse, or vice versa)?

Thanks fam! 🙌
