Reverse Proxy vs Forward Proxy: What's the Difference and When to Use Each? or Reverse Proxy vs Forwa

Yo, I was confused too until I set up both.

Forward proxy = your team's traffic goes through it (good for security/logging).
Reverse proxy = your website's traffic goes through it (good for caching/SSL termination).

Real-world example:
- Forward: Corp network blocking sketchy sites.
- Reverse: Your blog using Cloudflare to handle traffic spikes.

Neither is "better"—just depends on what you're trying to do.
