If you are going to waterproof, I was always told it had to be the outside of the wall (the real expensive way, I know). The waterproof paint just traps moisture in the bricks, and if there is much of it, then it will just burst thru spots in the paint. My aunt did her basement very thoroughly and it held for 2 yrs, then developed leaks that would actually squirt jets of water during rainstorms, then the wall sloughed sheets of paint stuck to corroded brickwork, like how rust eats under bondo. If you have much wetness use exterior drywall (or paint the back side) and put in a perimeter drain system. And the value of good exterior drainage cannot be overstated.
