Simple, the difference between the one and the other is that the Forward Proxy is used to protect the clients within a certain internal network, that is, filters the packets coming from external networks. The Reverse Proxy does the opposite, which is to protect clients' servers; filtering the packets from the internal network (clients) to the external (servers).
