All this comes with an inherent danger of security and privacy breaches. In this guide we will talk about <strong>proxies</strong> which play a vital role in mitigating these risks. We will cover the following topics in this guide: </p><ul class="sc-egiyK gfrORe"><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv"><a href="#proxy-server" target="_self" class="sc-crHmcD gJMBjK">Proxy Server</a></li><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv"><a href="#forward-proxy-server" target="_self" class="sc-crHmcD gJMBjK">Forward Proxy Server</a></li><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv"><a href="#reverse-proxy-server" target="_self" class="sc-crHmcD gJMBjK">Reverse Proxy Server</a></li><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv"><a href="#summary" target="_self" class="sc-crHmcD gJMBjK">Summary</a></li></ul><h2 class="sc-dkPtRN sc-hKwDye dKUOdJ kqfgwy">Proxy Server</h2><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN"><strong><em>Every web request which is sent from the client to a web server goes through some type of proxy server.</em></strong> A proxy server acts as a gateway between client <em>(you)</em> and the internet and separates end-users from the websites you browse. It replaces the source IP address of the web request with the proxy server's IP address and then forwards it to the web server. The web server is unaware of the client, it only sees the proxy server. </p><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN"><img src="/guides/proxy/proxy-example.png" alt="Proxy Server Description" class="sc-iqseJM bIxQHp"/> </p><blockquote class="sc-pVTFL cuyQdk"><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">NOTE: This is not an accurate description rather just an illustration. </p></blockquote><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">Proxy servers serve as a single point of control making it easier to enforce security policies. It also provides caching mechanism which stores the requested web pages on the proxy server to improve performance. If the requested web-page is available in cache memory then instead of forwarding the request to the web-server it will send the cached webpage back to the client. This <strong>saves big companies thousands of dollars</strong> by reducing load on their servers as their website is visited by millions of users every day.</p><h2 class="sc-dkPtRN sc-hKwDye dKUOdJ kqfgwy">Forward Proxy Server</h2><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">A forward proxy is generally implemented on the client side and <strong>sits in front of multiple clients</strong> or client sources. Forward proxy servers are mainly used by companies to <strong>manage internet usage</strong> of their employees and <strong>restrict content</strong>. It is also used as a <strong>firewall</strong> to secure company's network by blocking any request which would pose threat to the companies's network. Proxy servers are also used to <strong>bypass geo-restriction</strong> and browse content which might be blocked in user's country. It enables users to <strong>browse anonymously</strong>, as the proxy server masks their details from the website's servers. </p><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN"><img src="/guides/proxy/forward-proxy.png" alt="Forward Proxy Description" class="sc-iqseJM bIxQHp"/> </p><blockquote class="sc-pVTFL cuyQdk"><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">NOTE: This is not an accurate description rather just an illustration</p></blockquote><h2 class="sc-dkPtRN sc-hKwDye dKUOdJ kqfgwy">Reverse Proxy Server</h2><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">Reverse proxy servers are implemented on the <strong>server side</strong> instead of the client side. It <strong>sits in front of multiple webservers</strong> and manages the incoming requests by forwarding them to the web servers. It provides anonymity for the <strong>back-end web servers and not the client</strong>. Reverse proxy servers are generally used to perform tasks such as <strong>authentication, content caching, and encryption/decryption</strong> on behalf of the web server. These tasks would <strong>hog CPU cycles</strong> on the web server and degrade performance of the website by introducing high amount of delay in loading the webpage. Reverse proxies are also used as <strong>load balancers</strong> to distribute the incoming traffic efficiently among the web servers but it is <strong>not optimized</strong> for this task. In essence, reverse proxy server is a gateway to a web-server or group of web-servers. </p><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN"><img src="/guides/proxy/reverse-proxy.png" alt="Reverse Proxy Description" class="sc-iqseJM bIxQHp"/> </p><blockquote class="sc-pVTFL cuyQdk"><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">NOTE: This is not an accurate description rather just an illustration.

Forward proxy is implemented on the client side and <strong>sits in front of multiple clients</strong> or client sources and forwards requests to the web server. Reverse proxy servers are implemented on the <strong>server side</strong> it <strong>sits in front of multiple webservers</strong> and manages the incoming requests by forwarding them to the web servers. </p><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">If all this was too much to take in, I have a simple analogy for you. </p><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">At a restaurant the waiter/waitress takes your order and gives it to the kitchen head chef. The head chef then calls out the order and assigns tasks to everyone in the kitchen. </p><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">In this analogy: </p><ul class="sc-egiyK gfrORe"><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv">You are the client</li><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv">Your order is the web request</li><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv">Waiter/Waitress is your forward proxy server</li><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv">Kitchen head chef is the reverse proxy server</li><li class="sc-bqiRlB xTMXv">Other chefs working in the kitchen are the web servers</li></ul><p class="sc-bdvvtL kiIUjN">With that said our guide comes to an end.
