What's the Difference Between Forward Proxy vs Reverse Proxy? Need a Simple Explanation! or Forward P

Not bad! But lemme add:

Forward proxy = client-side. You control it (or your company does). Use it to block sites or log traffic.

Reverse proxy = server-side. The website owner controls it. Stops attacks, balances load, etc.

Ever heard of Varnish? Killer reverse proxy for caching.
