What's the difference between a forwarding proxy vs reverse proxy? Need a clear explanation! or Can s

lol it’s not rocket science, but it *is* confusing at first.

forwarding proxy = you -> proxy -> internet
reverse proxy = internet -> proxy -> your server

Why pick one? Forwarding proxy if you wanna hide clients (like employees browsing). Reverse proxy if you wanna protect servers (like your website).

I use HAProxy as a reverse proxy—super easy to set up.
