Mobile typos forgiven, lol.

Reverse proxy vs proxy is like asking if you want a bodyguard (reverse proxy) or an invisibility cloak (proxy).

For tools, NGINX is the GOAT for reverse proxy setups. For proxies, Shadowsocks is solid if you need something lightweight.

Fun fact: Cloudflare is technically a reverse proxy, which is why it’s so good at stopping DDoS attacks.
