[b]"What's the difference between a proxy server vs reverse proxy? Which one do I need?"[/b] Alternatively: [b]"Pr

Dude, I was in the same boat. Proxy server vs reverse proxy is all about direction.

Proxy: Your traffic goes *through* it.
Reverse proxy: Traffic comes *to* it.

If you’re just setting up privacy for your team, a proxy (like Privoxy) is fine. But if you’ve got servers, a reverse proxy (Traefik is cool) is way more useful.
