Yo, reverse proxy in simple terms is like a mail sorter for your web traffic.
Clients hit the proxy first, and it routes requests to the right server behind the scenes.
Why? Load balancing, SSL termination (handling HTTPS for you), and hiding your servers’ identities.
Diff from regular proxy? Regular proxy hides *you* from the internet. Reverse proxy hides your *servers* from clients.
