# Forward proxy support

@lumieducation/h5p-server has to make outgoing HTTPS requests to contact the H5P Hub. If your network requires the use of a forward proxy to reach the Internet, you must configure @lumieducation/h5p-server to use it for the HTTPS requests.

There are two ways of enabling the proxy:

1. Set the `proxy` property in IH5PConfig like this:

   ```json
   {
       "proxy": {
           "host": "10.1.2.3",
           "port": 8080,
           "protocol": "https" // can also be left out or set to "http" if your proxy can't be accessed with https
       }
   }
   ```
2. Set the HTTPS\_PROXY environment variable like this:

   `HTTPS_PROXY=http://10.1.2.3:8080` or `HTTPS_PROXY=https://10.1.2.3:8080`

   (depending on whether your proxy can be accessed with https).
