# Route renders through your own HTTP proxy

April 18, 2026

You can now configure HTTP proxies in the dashboard and route image renders through them. All outbound traffic for a render will go through the proxy you select. This is useful for restricting access to internal content, controlling the egress IP, or getting past bot detection.

*   **Configure proxies** at [https://htmlcsstoimage.com/dashboard/proxies](https://htmlcsstoimage.com/dashboard/proxies). Set a URL, port, optional auth, and optional **Bypass Hosts** (hostnames that should skip the proxy).
*   **Use a proxy** by passing `proxy_id` on the create image request.
*   **Disable safely** — turning a proxy off does not affect images that have already been generated. Only new renders that try to use that `proxy_id` will be rejected.

Available on the **10,000 images/month plan or higher**. [Read the full guide](/guides/advanced/proxies/).
