# Proxy Setup (Optional)

> Use your own domain for the pixel or embedded dashboard to keep delivery reliable when ad blockers or privacy tools are present.

## Proxy Setup (Optional)

Use this when you want more reliable delivery than the standard hosted setup in
blocker-heavy environments.

In the default Affonso integration, the browser loads assets and tracking
requests from Affonso-hosted domains such as:

* `cdn.affonso.io`
* `api.affonso.io`
* `affonso.io`

To make that setup more resilient when ad blockers, privacy tools, or strict
browser policies are present, you can proxy the pixel and embedded dashboard
through your own domain instead.

This is optional. If the hosted setup works, keep using it.

<Warning>
  If you proxy <code>/track</code> or <code>/signups</code> through your own
  domain, Affonso resolves the real visitor IP from standard proxy headers and
  forwarding chains. In normal Vercel, Cloudflare, and standard reverse-proxy
  setups you usually do not need extra configuration. Only custom multi-proxy
  or header-rewriting setups may need verification if country data looks wrong.
</Warning>

## When to Use It

Proxy setup is especially useful if:

* the tracking pixel is blocked on page load
* click or signup tracking requests fail in the browser
* the embedded dashboard iframe is blocked or stays blank

## What Changes

With proxy setup:

* the browser loads the pixel from your domain
* browser-visible tracking requests stay on your domain
* the embedded dashboard can also load from your domain
