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

Here’s a nerdy take:

Forward proxy = outbound traffic (think employees browsing).
Reverse proxy = inbound traffic (think visitors hitting your site).

Why use one over the other?
- Forward: Control/security (like blocking malware sites).
- Reverse: Performance/scalability (like caching static content).

Tools: Traefik (reverse), TinyProxy (forward).
