Use the proxy URL to access a Service. By default, the URL takes the
format http://<DNSorIP>:8000.
Kong Gateway runtimes
If you configure a Kong Gateway runtime using the
Docker quick setup option,
the default proxy URL is http://localhost:8000.
Using the proxy URL
Paste the URL into a browser and append it with a Route path.
For example, if you have:
- A runtime running on
localhost - A Service that accesses
http://mockbin.orgusing the path/mock
Add /mock to the end of the proxy URL:
http://localhost:8000/mock
The URL opens the page associated with the Service, in this case,
http://mockbin.org.
