This video explains the difference between a forward proxy and a reverse proxy. A proxy server acts as a middleman between a private network and the internet, safeguarding the network by regulating traffic, blocking harmful websites, masking client IP addresses, logging user activity, bypassing content restrictions and commonly used for web data collection. A reverse proxy enhances security for servers by hiding their IP addresses, blocking malicious traffic, and implementing load balancing to distribute traffic evenly.
