A proxy allows clients to communicate (connect) with servers anonymously while a reverse proxy allows servers to communicate (serve) with clients anonymously. That's my one liner

For those trying to understand the difference, a quote from the video: "In reverse proxy the client doesn't know which server it is connecting to (balancer). In proxy the server doesn't know which client it is connecting from (VPN)."

Trying to understand, In both the cases, Is the end-response is bypassing Reverse-Proxy/Load-balancer and directly sending it to Client? My understanding is, in both the cases END servers doesn't know FIRST client. I mean, Reverse-Proxy/Load-balancer just to re-direct request not bothered on Response? Please explain.

Not necessarily a vpn. Since in a vpn, all communication is encrypted between the machines which are in the network, but it can also just be a proxy without encryption, and still not a vpn

Glad KZread recommended me this one. Love the analogy, best simplification I heard so far: Proxy: Server doesn't know who the real client is Reverse Proxy: The client doesn't know who the real (backend) server is

Thank you Hussein for all your video, all of them are just really great :) I want to add these explanations: Proxy : Sits between the client and the internet which is often used within organisation to monitor web traffic. Reverse Proxy : Sits between internet and our servers which often used to load balance traffic & serve content from cache. After all, your phrase 'With a proxy the server do not know the client, with a reverse proxy the client doesn't know which server is serving the content' is extremely powerful and self-explanatory, I used it on technical interview and the recruiter was impressed by the simplicity :D

you dont want the servers knowing who you are = forward proxy you dont want the clients knowing who you are = reverse proxy

I like the line "server doesn't know which client" and "client doesn't know which server" ... well explained.

You did a really good job explaining the difference between these two. Help me a lot, Thanks man.

When I want to learn a backend concept, you're always my first choice man. Amazing explanation!

Great explanation. So within an enterprise network you want your clients outbound traffic to go through a forward proxy. For your environment's endpoints and web servers, you want external traffic to come through a reverse proxy.

Nasser, in a reverse proxy the client goes to the server first - and the server then reverse proxies you to another system, such as CASB or Okta or anything else like that; with a proxy you go to the proxy first and then onto your server!

Can you please do the grokking system design course? I've seen like 10 other channels, your's is the only one I can binge.

The clients behind the proxy server can be identified by the Web server. The client originating the Web request (modern browsers) will embed the IP address in the header. There are many websites which displays the originating IP address of the client, even if you are using proxy server.

@hnasr

4 жыл бұрын

That is correct. Proxies can add the via headers or originating ip address . So the server can know the original client. in a proxy that doesn’t change the content, the server wont know the client
