What's the difference between a forwarding proxy vs reverse proxy? Which one should I use? or Forward

Honestly, the forwarding proxy vs reverse proxy confusion is super common. I’ll give ya a real-world example:

- Forwarding: Your office uses one to block social media (sneaky, right?).
- Reverse: Netflix uses them to handle millions of requests without crashing.

If you’re just hosting a site, start with a reverse proxy. Tools like Traefik or Caddy make it easy.
