Caddy is primarily a web server like nginx and apache httpd. Traefik and HAproxy are primarily reverse proxies.

Caddy is actually used as a reverse proxy more than a static file server. It's equally excellent and proficient as both! Caddy's functionality is comparable to nginx, apache httpd, and haproxy.

Yeah, Caddy v1 had a forwardproxy plugin that finally got updated for v2: https://github.com/caddyserver/forwardproxy/
