Wow, thanks for all the insights, folks! Definitely clears up the reverse proxy vs proxy server confusion.
I’ll give Nginx a shot for my homelab—seems like the way to go. And yeah, Cloudflare’s free tier looks tempting too.
Quick follow-up: Anyone tried using both at the same time? Like, a proxy for personal browsing *and* a reverse proxy for a server? Or is that overkill?
