# Setting up the proxy
|
|
|
|
Our proxy is used to bypass CORS-protected URLs on the client side, allowing users to make requests to protected endpoints without a backend server.
|
|
|
|
The proxy is made using [Nitro by UnJS](https://nitro.unjs.io/) which supports building the proxy to work on multiple providers including Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda and [more...](https://nitro.unjs.io/deploy)
|
|
|
|
Our recommended provider is Cloudflare due to its [generous free plan](https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/plans/developer-platform/).
|
|
|
|
## Cloudflare Workers
|
|
|
|
The proxy is made as a Cloudflare worker. Cloudflare has a generous free plan, so you don't need to pay anything unless you get hundreds of users.

|
|
1. At the bottom of the page, click "Continue to summary".
|
|
1. On the next screen, click "Create token".
|
