The forward proxy and reverse proxy are two very confusing names. You just need to know that, from your perspective, forward proxy is outbound proxy , and reverse proxy is inbound proxy. For example, if YOU are making request to the internet through a proxy, that proxy is forward proxy. And if someone from internet is trying to retrieve content from YOUR service, the proxy is the reverse proxy.

you helped me comprehend that much better, cheers!

[@oksanacarter4404]

You definitely just made this all make sense! Thank you

[@spikygoldfish]

This is the most concise and intuitive explanation of forward vs reverse proxies!

[@user-kl9dq9el3z]

cool explanation, thanks

[@uniquekatnoria5380]

This channel is quickly becoming one of the best, in its genre. Request you to also make more system design videos, like the one you made for Yelp

[@ByteByteGo]

Yes, we will make more system design videos. Those are much longer and take a lot of time to make. Still trying to figure out the right cadence for the longer videos.

[@miguelito0o]

One of the best is an understatement. The cohesive and straight-to-the-point manner of the videos are next level. Congrats.

[@AseshShrestha]

Agree with you

[@ask.officio]

What a Valuable channel !!! I recently started learning and knowing Cloud Computing and just just right about thinking about if such a channel exists and presence of it somehow as that explains mean minimum basics, as many are just about courses and middle of something I couldn’t understand ……, I found it by chance…

[@Sarahconnor-vr8sh]

I love this guy man. No bullshit and provides the most valuable information in shortest amount of time.

[@L0615T1C]

This channel is so underrated! Its so easy to learn yet the videos barely get any views! Keep at it I woulnt be suprised if you make it big

[@SHSolutions]

The forward proxy can also provide caching to speed up repeated requests and reduce the amount of data being transferred over the internet.

[@stephenw4720]

Love the animation. Great way to educate us! Thank you!

I googled a bunch on this topic but the explanations are not satisfying, would love to see a follow up with more details on reverse proxy, load balancer, and gateway

[@susingh2]

Thanks for the video...All your video quality are amazing ... Can you please make one video on "Design Online Word Translator of different languages" ?

[@earthling_parth]

Thank you. This was amazing. Can you also please do a similar one for load-balancers vs reverse-proxy?

[@pragyanvarshney17]

google it!

[@ratanlambha2602]

Load balancer is one of the application of reverse proxy

[@johnw.8782]

@@pragyanvarshney17 that’s not helpful. You could have said nothing at all.

[@johnw.8782]

@earthling in the video, it explains that load balancing is one application of a reverse proxy.

[@probablypablito]

A load balancer does what it says on the tin. A reverse proxy can act as a load balancer since it sits between the client and webserver. It can distribute clients to multiple different servers depending on the load of each server.

[@leomysky]

Good examples, thank you for the video

[@rohithreddy6895]

can anyone tell what do we mean by calf layer he is referring to after 3min.21sec in the video??

[@bonareal7556]

Respect and reverence (in Russian uvazuha) to you for this informative video!

[@dinesharunachalam]

What is the difference between a proxy and a firewall/load balancer? Functionality wise they look same

[@DeepakShaw]

concise explanation, Thanks

[@caiquecoelho3739]

Amazing and really expain wel such a complex subject :)

[@emanuelgoncalvessantos4499]

Thanks for the neat explanation.

[@justfair4181]

Good explaination. Thank you

The LAN box around the forward proxy is the same as the client so you're not really hiding your client's public IP?

[@testname8259]

Amazing pics and animation. May I know which tool you use to generate animated images

How on earth do you do these animations? They are amazing.

[@brucewayne2480]

1 - What is the difference between a proxy and a VPN , can a VPN replace a proxy ? 2 - Is Netflix for example able to detect Proxy but not a VPN ?

[@azharmobeen]

Could you please tell which tool you’re using for these diagrams?

[@mirzairfan3426]

Thank you for amazing explanation. Please can you share which software or combination of software you used to get ready such nice illustration of the topic?

[@sourandbitter3062]

Impressive. You guys are good.

[@Krisztyan]

what could be the reason that in case of a forward proxy I would like to bypass browsing restrictions? if we have firewalls in place why would I bypass them? does anybody has a real-world example?

[@MK-lh3xd]

Hi, I like the content of your videos. Your breadth of coverage on system design is awesome. However, I have difficulty following your speech and mostly rely on captions. May be using one of the modern AI voice generators will address this issue. I hope you consider the suggestion.

[@youmisco5438]

awesome illustrations.

[@marchanselthomas]

The quality on this one!!!!

[@wwhill8033]

Fantastic content thanks!,

[@Rafael-nq2qk]

Great content, excellent. I was wondering what tools do you use to edit your videos? Also, are there any types of libraries for symbols and animations you would recommend?

[@ylazerson]

great video - thanks!

[@oleksandrs1102]

Great material

[@Ninja_bit]

How does these videos made? Do you use powerpoint to create these shapes and animations?

[@Vijay-Yarramsetty]

good explanations

[@tobzdaman619]

Great video!

[@perminusgaita]

This is amazing 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@vincentcrescente3036]

Could 'Web Server A' and 'B' at 1:07 be reverse proxies then ? Thank You, great video

[@Ta5ref_Mobarmg]

very informative knowledge, what tool you are using to draw?

[@Louisrael]

In general, proxies offer swifter connection speeds compared to VPNs, as they selectively route specific types of traffic rather than encrypting all internet activity like VPNs do. Zeus Proxy distinguishes itself with its rotating residential proxy, catering to tasks like e-commerce multi-account registrations, data crawling, airdrops, and gaming.

[@mitaka_78]
