Masking rectangular and circle only front?

Hello!

My noob question of the day:

When i paint mask on something (for example 3d sphere) its being painted only at the front side, and the rear of my object is not being masked (good). However when i use rectangle/circle masking (to get some more straight shapes masked) im getting 2 areas masked on my object: front and back. I have symmetry off, its not the thing.
I have tryied playing with automasking, tryied playing with “back face mask” but it didnt got any effect. How do i make it mask only front of my object with rect/circle shapes?

I know i could find a workaround like for example using some custom alphas with geometrical shapes, but on this phase of my learning i would prefer to avoid workarounds and get to know how to do stuff properly so i dont make a mess in my head which will only make the future learning ahead even harder.

Thanks in advance for any help.

the other brush types don’t backfacemask as you have seen. There is no way that I am aware of to change this. The only way I know of is to go and unmask those sections.
