Does the network proxy hide the backend IPs?

I have a proxy on my network on a separate host from my backend servers. Is it possible for a bad actor to figure out what the IPs are to my backend servers if I only give them the IP to the proxy?

generally not, unless you mess up and leak the backend ip in another way the proxy handles all traffic from the end user to the backend

even with ping passthrough and/or ip forwarding or whatever it's called?

ah with ping passthrough though if it's pinging a backend server could that expose the backend server's IP

no because its not the client doing it the proxy is passing through the backend response it got
