Proxy And Reverse Proxy

A forward proxy is a server that sits between user devices and the internet. A forward proxy is commonly used for:

  • Protect clients.
  • Avoid browsing restrictions.
  • Block access to certain content

A reverse proxy is a server that accepts a request from the client, forwards the request to web servers, and returns the results to the client as if the proxy server had processed the request. A reverse proxy is good for:

  • Protect servers.
  • Load balancing.
  • Cache static contents.
  • Encrypt and decrypt SSL communications
