Forward Proxy I send a request with the name of the target server and proxy decides whether to allow or deny (acts like a firewall)
eg
You --------www.facebook.com---->Forward proxy (companay proxy)
You ------- denied <-----
You -------www.google.com----> Forward proxy (company proxy)--->granted--->www.google.com
You <-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reverse Proxy I send a request with the name of the proxy and proxy re-routes the request to internal server (acts like a loadbalancer)
eg
You -------www.mycompany.com----Reverse proxy (load balancer)
| | |
v v v
<--------------------server A B C
