Apache, Nginx and Caddy are web servers that can serve content from the hard

There is other software that only does proxying like haproxy.

Apache just opens a connection as a HTTP client to you localhost server.

There is also the HTTP proxy server that you can configure in your browser, but
 that is something different.
