Privacy

Short, because there is not much to describe. This page covers two separate things: this website, and the gateway you run yourself. They share a name and nothing else.

This website

Cookies

None. This site sets no cookie, for any purpose, including analytics.

Analytics

None. There is no Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, PostHog, Segment or equivalent, and no first-party substitute for one. We do not know how many people read this page.

Third-party requests

None. Fonts are served from this domain rather than a font CDN, which is a deliberate choice: a font CDN sees the IP address of every visitor to every page that uses it.

Local storage

Two keys, both set only when you change something: proxlane-theme when you use the theme toggle, and a code-tab preference when you pick a language in a code sample. Both stay in your browser and are never sent anywhere.

The part that is not zero: this site is served by Cloudflare, so Cloudflare terminates every request and handles the usual edge data — your IP address, the page you asked for, your user agent. That is true of any site behind a CDN, it is not something we opt into per visitor, and it happens whether or not anyone here looks at it. We do not join it to anything, because there is nothing to join it to.

The gateway

The gateway runs on your machine, on your provider keys. There is no hosted endpoint and no account, so there is no server here that could receive your traffic even if it wanted to. It contains no telemetry: the only hosts it contacts are the provider you configured and the URL you asked it to fetch.

It writes one log line per request to its own stdout, on your machine. That line carries the target's host and never the full URL, because a scrape URL's query string can hold session tokens, signed URLs and the gateway key itself, and logs get pasted into bug reports. PROXLANE_LOG=off silences it entirely.

Your provider bills you directly. We are not in the payment path and never see what you scrape, how much of it, or what it costs.

Checking any of this

Everything above is a claim about code that is public, which is the point of it being public. Open your browser's network tab on any page here and count the origins. Read the hosting docs for what the container does and does not do. If you find something here that is not true, that is a bug, and it is the kind we most want reported.
