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!
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 🌲
You have explained proxies in a simple and yet excellently illustrated way! Great content as always!
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
Great explainer on proxies and how they are used. Thanks for the intro to Bright Data, great service!
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!!
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!!!
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 KZhead 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!
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 …
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
I'm amazed I could finally understand reverse proxies. Thank you so much.
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'm lucky that this amazing video was uploaded recently since I'm just now learning about proxy and reverse proxy
just dropping to say i appreciate all your videos, thanks for clear explanations sir
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.
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!
The BEST explanation ever! Great presentation as well
Very clear in concept explanation pls bring up these type of videos on a regular basis 🙏👍 thank u
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.
Concise and well illustrated, as always ! Thanks :)
Thanks
Thank you so much for this clear and concise explanation.
Excellent explanation, I've finally understood it. Thanks 👍
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. Very important the proxy server
absolutely superb and understandable explained. thank you very much 😁also the animated servers and proxies look very cool
I just got enlightened with this video and your channel,.Thank god for this suggestion on KZhead🎊
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 🙏💐
Your explanation is great ❤
With much gratitude of this my skills and knowledge in the area of technology is now refining
I loved your animation. Graphics are amazing.
Glad you like them!
as always, great video, you never disappoint
Thanks for your great work! Next video: transparent proxy vs non-transparent?
Such quality content as always!
Thanks Potentialenergy!
Great explanation very clear, thanks for this content , regards
So good!!!! How about explaining usb depth limitation? End points?
You need to start teaching others how to teach tech like this! You have found the right formula
This channel is Gold
Thank you for another helpful explanation. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
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.
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
Thanks for the video, great explanation! Just one question, that mean that a router is a proxy?
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?
Most useful video , crips and clear
Could you make a video to explain Conventional Server VS HCI Server ? Architechture, Benefits and another side comparation....
Thank you, handful nice tutorials.
What program you use to make this animations?
Babe, wake up. Another new PowerCert video dropped.
Hello, could you make videos about OSPF and spanning tree? It would be very helpful to understand these hard topics. Thank you so much.
This is a nice explanation
Good explanation. Tnx.
Dear please give video for CCNA course.your videos are really great.
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.
verry good explanation
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.
Well done bro
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
Thank you for Sharing
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?
Mind blowing content
Awesome...
Good video.
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!
Can you please upload videos about Comptia A+ 1101 & 1102, it really will help us who are trying to get the certificate.
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?
Power cert videos are like a small IT degree!!
Do you happen to have any tutorials on how to make your own simple proxy server?
The versatility of Zeus Proxy's multiple IPs allows me to adapt to different situations and requirements, ensuring seamless browsing and transactions.
The forward proxy example is more of a firewall and a proxy itself cannot hide the identity of a client as the forward headers still contain the info on who requested the data.
So is the reverse proxy example, when in reality neither of them have anything to do with security. DDoS mitigation can be on reverse proxy, or not, that's completely beside the point, and "hiding IP addresses" of servers is not done because of security, it's mostly in order to distribute load over multiple servers transparently. All in all, pretty bad explanations.
Please make a video of CCNA Course
Thanks so much dude
Amazing animations
Thank you!
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.
Bro can you make a video on load balancer it would be very helpful
proxy is a firewall or vpn?? and reverse proxy is a load balancer?? please reply
Hi, can you make videos explaining FC SAN Zoning, Link Agregation FCoE and other FC protocols?
Stands out for its excellence, Zeus Proxy has proven to be the best proxy provider in my testing, featuring solid customer success support and dependable IPs within its large pool, all at an affordable price.
'A proxy keeps track of what websites are visited' That's how a friend of mine got fired. They concluded he was 'watching' youtube most of the day while wroking. ...but all he did was listen to music over his headphones while keeping the YT window minimized. ...to not be distracted by the office noise around him to be able to work harder.
Man if you had a security + videos I would’ve had the cert by now
Can you make a video on digital signature, and its real world usage, from scratch
