No, a reverse proxy is for a web service provider to use, usually for wiring up different backends for different routes, having one place to do rate limiting and tls termination etc. A forward-proxy (or just “proxy) functions in a way that is similar to a vpn, but you don’t need both and a vpn is more thorough in the types of traffic it supports and the security of encryption it provides.
