Reverse Proxy vs Forward Proxy: What's the Difference and When to Use Each? or Reverse Proxy vs Forwa

Man, I was confused too until I had to set one up.

Forward proxy = outbound (you -> internet).
Reverse proxy = inbound (internet -> you).

We use a forward proxy to log employee web traffic (sounds creepy, but it’s for security).

For reverse, try Caddy—super easy to configure.
