# Behind a Proxy { #behind-a-proxy }

In many situations, you would use a **proxy** like Traefik or Nginx in front of your FastAPI app.

These proxies could handle HTTPS certificates and other things.

## Proxy Forwarded Headers { #proxy-forwarded-headers }

                    }

                    Proxy p = new Proxy();
                    p.setHost(proxy.getHost());
                    p.setProtocol(proxy.getProtocol());
                    p.setPort(proxy.getPort());
                    p.setNonProxyHosts(proxy.getNonProxyHosts());
                    p.setUserName(proxy.getUsername());
                    p.setPassword(proxy.getPassword());

    * Otherwise, you might have to stop the TLS Termination Proxy momentarily, start the renewal program to acquire the certificates, then configure them with the TLS Termination Proxy, and then restart the TLS Termination Proxy. This is not ideal, as your app(s) will not be available during the time that the TLS Termination Proxy is off.

                            proxyInfo.setType(proxy.getProtocol());
                            proxyInfo.setPort(proxy.getPort());
                            proxyInfo.setNonProxyHosts(proxy.getNonProxyHosts());
