Proxy Setup

Proxy the pixel or embedded dashboard through your own domain to improve tracking accuracy and reduce losses from ad blockers and privacy tools.

Proxy Setup

Roughly 30% of internet users use ad blockers, and privacy tools are common. They can block third-party scripts and requests before Affonso ever gets the chance to track the click, signup, or embed view.

Proxy setup improves accuracy by serving Affonso through your own domain instead of directly from Affonso-hosted domains.

If you proxy tracking requests, make sure Affonso still receives a trusted real client IP header such as CF-Connecting-IP, True-Client-IP, or X-Real-IP. Otherwise attribution can still work while country data is wrong or missing.

What Proxy Setup Changes

Instead of loading Affonso directly from:

  • cdn.affonso.io for the pixel
  • api.affonso.io for tracking requests
  • affonso.io for the embedded dashboard

you proxy only the routes you need through your own domain, for example under /r.

Choose What You Need

You usually need one of these:

  • Pixel tracking proxy if you want the tracking script, click tracking, and signup tracking to stay on your own domain.
  • Embedded dashboard proxy if you want the referral iframe to load through your own domain.

If you use both, you can keep them under the same prefix.
