A forward proxy sits in front of clients, acting as a gateway that masks user identity and enforces company policies before internet access, while a reverse proxy sits in front of servers, intercepting incoming requests to balance load and protect internal infrastructure from direct public exposure; both improve security and performance through caching but introduce extra network hops, requiring high availability to avoid bottlenecks.

Forward Proxy vs. Reverse Proxy Explained #ShortsAjouté :
A massive surge of traffic just crashed your service and your security team is panicking about exposed internal endpoints. Do you hide your servers or mask your clients? A forward proxy sits in front of the client. It acts as a gateway for users masking their identity while ensuring they follow company policies before reaching the internet.
Conversely, a reverse proxy sits in front of your servers. It intercepts incoming requests, balances the load, and protects your private infrastructure from direct public exposure. Think of it this way. Forward proxies manage who goes out to the web while reverse proxies manage who gets to talk to your internal application servers. Both improve security and performance via caching, but they introduce extra hops.
Always ensure your proxy layer is highly available to avoid creating a massive bottleneck. Mastering these patterns is fundamental for building scalable systems. Distinguish your boundaries clearly to secure your architecture. Follow for more L6 level system design breakdowns.
