Forward vs. reverse proxies - What’s the difference?
When you navigate the internet, your device doesn’t always connect directly to the destination server. Instead, requests are often routed through a proxy before reaching their destination. Proxies come in two primary types: forward proxies and reverse proxies. A forward proxy sits between the client you’re using (for example, your web browser) and forwards its requests to the internet, while a reverse proxy sits in front of the destination server (for example, the server that holds a website’s data), and handles incoming requests.
