They\u2019re used for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Caching:<\/strong> storing popular content (like trending YouTube videos) to save bandwidth.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filtering:<\/strong> blocking certain sites based on policy (gambling sites, adult content, etc.).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anonymity:<\/strong> hiding the real client IP for privacy.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drawbacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Can add extra latency when the cache is missed.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires manual setup on the client side.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doesn\u2019t protect the server, it only manages requests from the user\u2019s side.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 In short: a forward proxy makes sense when you need control on the <strong>user side<\/strong> or within a local network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reverse Proxy: \u201cThe Gatekeeper\u201d in Front of the Server<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s go back to our restaurant story.<br>The waiter doesn\u2019t just run into the kitchen and shout directly at the chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, there\u2019s a <strong>kitchen expeditor<\/strong> who manages everything: order A goes to the ice cream chef, order B goes to the pasta chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this analogy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The waiter<\/strong> = the internet<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The kitchen expeditor<\/strong> = the reverse proxy<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The chefs<\/strong> = the servers<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A reverse proxy works like a gatekeeper + coordinator.

You can set them up with Nginx, HAProxy, or Traefik.
