Setting up proxy

Akto deploys multiple services in your cloud, which primarily include a dashboard, a traffic processing module and a testing module. These modules need internet access. In case, the cluster/VPC in which Akto is deployed, doesn't have internet connectivity, you can configure a proxy as follows to provide internet connectivity to Akto modules.

Configure the given environment variables to setup proxy

1. PROXY_URI

This is the URI of your internet proxy. All requests (HTTP/HTTPS) will be proxied through this URI. You can take reference from the below examples to configure it properly.

PROXY_URI=192.168.0.0 // if no protocol is mentioned, we assume the protocol to be HTTP
PROXY_URI=http://192.168.0.0
PROXY_URI=https://192.168.0.0
PROXY_URI=http://192.168.0.0:9000
PROXY_URI=https://192.168.0.0:444
PROXY_URI=http://user:[email protected] // example for authenticated proxy. By default, the proxy is assumed to be unauthenticated
PROXY_URI=user:[email protected]
PROXY_URI=user:[email protected]:9000
PROXY_URI=http://user:[email protected]:9000
PROXY_URI=https://user:[email protected]:5000
