Meshlets can use proxy servers to avoid directly sending a request to a target server. Instead of a direct request, meshlets will send a request to the proxy server, and the proxy server will send the request to the target.
To connect to the proxy server, you will need the following values:
| Directive | Description |
|---|---|
| host | Address that is hosting the proxy server |
| port | Port number that represents the communication endpoint |
| username | Username credentials to connect to the server |
| password | Password credentials to connect to the server |
Example application-dev.yml configuration
The example below shows part of the configuration that must be set to connect a proxy server to a meshlet :
proxy: host: proxyExample.perspectium.net port: 8080 username: userExample password: userPassword
SOCKS (TCP) Proxy
To connect a SOCKS proxy server to a meshlet, use the following:
spring: rabbitmq: host: proxyExample.perspectium.net port: 5672 username: username password: password proxy: host: example_socks_host port: 1080
