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.

I think in the future, forward proxys & reverse proxys should be integrated into one for better efficiency & reduced physical space usage.
Man I've been a software engineer for decades and I'm embarrassed to say I never could figure out what a reverse proxy is until now. Thank you for such a great video!!!
Glad I could help!
I've known this terminology for decades and always hated it. The reason you've had trouble figuring it out is that it is incorrect. A reverse proxy and forward proxy operate in exactly the same direction. A reverse proxy does not operate in reverse relative to a forward proxy. Other terms like "load balancer" and the newer (but still not new) "web application firewall" are much better. I could accept "server side proxy" but I don't think that's ever been a commonly used term
I'm just getting into iT work I'm planning to be a data clerk. Maybe that's a good way to start in iT do u have any thoughts on that. I just watched this video to. I'm also in a college course online for cyber security ops.
An IT professional naturally thinks first about a group of clients while a software engineer naturally thinks first about the servers running the software. The name "reverse proxy" seems like it's based on an IT perspective. If I was in charge of naming everything in the world, I would flip the names "proxy" and "reverse proxy".
You guys have literally made my life easier by explaining concepts that seem mundane and 'you should know this by now' with the reassurance that most websites (and some tutors) just plain suck making the knowledge accessible. It's a great way to freshen up on the fundamentals!
I have never seen anyone explaining things so clearly as you do. Your demo videos are also just as good.
Dude , you have a way of explaining things perfectly. Thank you for what you do dude. 😁
I appreciate that!
@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos keep dude-ing your thing!
Yes! you are great. I wish all my searches ended up on one of your videos!
It's good, but not perfect. We have a proxy between our internal users and internal sites. So it is not just used for traffic between the Internet and our users.
Exact! The way you explain is so easy to understand ! Thank you !
I was concerned for some reason from the thumbnail that this channel would spend too much time creating complex art animations and not enough quality educational content. I was SOOOO wrong. This was an awesome video that really connected the dots for me. I was getting confused about which proxy was which, this really cleared it up and more!
THANK YOU!
You have explained proxies in a simple and yet excellently illustrated way! Great content as always!
these animations just keep getting better.. I love seeing this channel getting the props and financial rewards it deserves!
These videos are informative and are helping my depression. It’s your voice, plus the excellent instruction, plus the perfectly colorful, but somehow nostalgic illustrations. Some kind of a mixture of that.
Thanks, from the rainy PNW 🌲
Your videos are amazing! Clear and easy-to-understand explanations with nice illustrations, really beneficial. Helps me understand so much easier.
Just a Video Idea : Can you think about a full video course on Linux? Like the terminal, commands, users, package managers, privileges etc. It'll really be helpful for Linux beginners like me.
Thank You So Much!
Congrats on all of your success! Glad to see you with sponsors, as well. I owe so much of my success in the last few years working in IT thanks to your teaching!
Thanks
He's a great guy for offering all of this info and time to teach for free basically. Thank you Sir.
@@arsenalgear3009 He gets a Proxy income! ;-)
@@rafflesnhand you get free and premium quality material from which you benefit …
Great explainer on proxies and how they are used. Thanks for the intro to Bright Data, great service!
Love this video! A possible video idea would be also to explain the different types of proxies: squid proxy, SOCKS proxy, transparent proxy etc.
I have spent way too much time trying to figure out what a reverse proxy is. I wish i found this video faster. This is by far the best explanation i have come across
I don’t know where the secret is, if it is on your voice, or the video itself. But you are it not the best, one of the best teaches I have ever seen. Thank you for what you do!!!
Another instantaneously created fan here! Thanks for such a concise explanation. I've worked with proxies since a long time ago, but this was a very good explanation 👏
For some reason, the "reverse" part in the name of the reverse proxy never "clicked" on my mind, but saying like you did, on protecting servers instead of clients makes so much sense!.
I never read a previous documentation saying it like that, and I read quite some, it always says forwarding traffic, but again, the reverse forwarding is a convoluted way to say just forwarding.
Thanks!!
just dropping to say i appreciate all your videos, thanks for clear explanations sir
Seriously you read my mind! I was just researching how to setup a local dns and was wondering what a reverse proxy was. I was going to look it up on CZcams when I got home from work and then I see this video gets uploaded. I say it again, you seriously read my mind. Thank you!
Very clear in concept explanation pls bring up these type of videos on a regular basis 🙏👍 thank u
We need more content! You are a BOSS!!!! I hope you are in the lab cooking up more great videos for us! Maybe some common troubleshooting issues that new IT Support newbies experience. Thank you!
Great video. I remember a few years ago when I was struggling to find good explanation of reverse proxy (I was still a junior so my search abilities was also not that good). Today I needed to refresh my knowledge and found this video and everything is explained perfectly.
I would love to watch thousands of such well-explained videos of yours.
I'm amazed I could finally understand reverse proxies.
Thank you so much.
Power certs creators one line explanation about the topic is what makes him/them stand out of the crowd. Always crisp and clear explanation. And with animation it is next level
Concise and well illustrated, as always ! Thanks :)
Thanks
I'm lucky that this amazing video was uploaded recently since I'm just now learning about proxy and reverse proxy
The BEST explanation ever! Great presentation as well
Pretty sure you need to have #ad in the title. Also, fantastic video as always.
I’ve been waiting for this video, thank you for responding to my request about it god bless you man
The explanation was very clear and the infographic helped a lot.
I loved your animation. Graphics are amazing.
Glad you like them!
Your explanations are superb.
Excellent explanation, I've finally understood it. Thanks 👍
Thank you so much for this clear and concise explanation.
Brief and simple explanation. Thanks bro.
SuperThanks! I've been using squid for decades, and still couldn't wrap my head around the idea of a reverse proxy until I watched your video!
Thanks kingneutron1 :)
Thank you so much for your videos! I find them thr best on youtube, so easy to understand. I just wanted to ask could you do up to date playlist on CompTia A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA CYSA+? Thank you so much
Hah I love your videos! your explanation is easy to understand and your voice is really good. Thank you for your videos. 👍👍👍👍
Your explanation is great ❤
Such quality content as always!
Thanks Potentialenergy!
Yaaay my fave computer guy is back! Keep going!

With much gratitude of this my skills and knowledge in the area of technology is now refining
Great video, and perfect segway into an ad well done
Very clear explanation. I subscribed!
absolutely superb and understandable explained. thank you very much 😁also the animated servers and proxies look very cool
as always, great video, you never disappoint
This channel is Gold
Yo I was just studying this on the google cybersecurity certificate lol. Now you blessed us with a video. Thanks
Hi @PowerCert, no fency intro/outros, bg music, VFX, SFX etc, straight to point, been a subscribers since long time and forever. Learn all network fundamentals you made them so easy. I would be grateful if you can share which software you use to create these videos. This will help me so much in my current job. Please help. Thank you 🙏💐
Thanks for the video, great explanation!
Just one question, that mean that a router is a proxy?
So good!!!! How about explaining usb depth limitation? End points?
Thank you for another helpful explanation. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation very clear, thanks for this content , regards
Good explanation. Tnx.
Thanks for your great work! Next video: transparent proxy vs non-transparent?
This is a nice explanation
I just got enlightened with this video and your channel,.Thank god for this suggestion on CZcams🎊
Well done bro
Well explained. Well done. So, in other words, Forward Proxies are "talking" to "Reverse Proxies" and the other way around. The clients never talk to each other but let the Proxies do the "talking" for them.
Could you make a video to explain Conventional Server VS HCI Server ?
Architechture, Benefits and another side comparation....
Bro this video is just fantastic, and it made me wonder what is the difference between proxy and VPN? Would you make another video on that?
Thank you, handful nice tutorials.
What program you use to make this animations?
Nice video as always. The images could have been more descriptive though by specifying instead of the ip of the proxy the ips of the pcs inside that private network and the router's as well. Remote side would be irrelevant
Awesome...
What's the difference between file, file format, data structure in file and hard drive as word storage is used interchangeably for all these words in describing them.
Good video.
Most useful video , crips and clear
Thank you for Sharing
verry good explanation
Dear please give video for CCNA course.your videos are really great.
You need to start teaching others how to teach tech like this! You have found the right formula
Hello, could you make videos about OSPF and spanning tree? It would be very helpful to understand these hard topics. Thank you so much.
Mind blowing content
Please, make videos to explain server+ and windows server, MCSA,
you made a video to explain Network+ and it was very good ,
Thank you,
I love your explanation and videos
How different is proxy’s regulation of traffic from a firewall?
Thanks so much dude
Dude, you are doing a good job with such a good explanation but this video created a doubt in mind then what is the difference between vpn and proxy.
I known that you to take time to create a video and its okay but i am requesting you to make a video on above topic.
Hi mah men, can you make a video on TCP/IP and OSI model ? I believe that it really help to understand this with your work
Babe, wake up. Another new PowerCert video dropped.
Can you please upload videos about Comptia A+ 1101 & 1102, it really will help us who are trying to get the certificate.
Power cert videos are like a small IT degree!!
Amazing animations
Thank you!
Like your videos so much, it provides a huge network knowledge to me. Can anyone tell me what's the difference between proxy and dns server?
Thanks for the share.
thnks for information
Please make a video of CCNA Course
The main benefit of a forward proxy is while you can do filtering, blocking and logging on individual machines it is MUCH easier for the admin to config and manage it on one box. But it also makes a single point of failure if not configured correctly!
what would be a difference between reverse proxy and load balancers? It sounded like reverse proxy and load balancers e.g F5 are same to me. Please explain.
Thanks
Do you happen to have any tutorials on how to make your own simple proxy server?
Your description of forward proxy and reverse proxy sound EXACTLY like what I've always been told a firewall and router do.
So why would I need a proxy if I already have a router with good firewall rules?
The one use case I can come up with is that I have multiple different websites -- all wanting to use the same port. A good proxy would be able to direct traffic to the appropriate server based on the domain name. I don't think a router and firewall alone could do that.
proxy is a firewall or vpn??
and
reverse proxy is a load balancer?? please reply
You are the best
whats the difference between proxy and firewall because they almost do the same thing
Good job.
How is the effective difference between reverse proxy and firewall?
