Great question! You've got the basics right. A proxy acts on behalf of the client (you), while a reverse proxy acts on behalf of the server.

For example, if you use a VPN, that's kinda like a proxy—it masks your IP. But a reverse proxy? Think of Cloudflare. It sits in front of websites, handling traffic before it hits the server.

If you wanna play around, try setting up Nginx as a reverse proxy. It’s free and super common.
