Proxy Traffic

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.org using 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.
