Can someone explain what is proxy and reverse proxy in simple terms? or What is proxy and reverse pro

Proxies are for clients, reverse proxies are for servers.

Use cases:
- Proxy: Bypass geo-blocks, hide your IP.
- Reverse proxy: Load balancing, SSL termination.

If you’re new, maybe watch a few YouTube vids on setting up Nginx as a reverse proxy.
