# Example Proxy Script

The following is an example of a proxy script that can be used with the `GEMINI_SANDBOX_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable. This script only allows `HTTPS` connections to `example.com:443` and declines all other requests.

// Example proxy server that listens on :::8877 and only allows HTTPS connections to example.com.
// Set `GEMINI_SANDBOX_PROXY_COMMAND=scripts/example-proxy.js` to run proxy alongside sandbox
// Test via `curl https://example.com` inside sandbox (in shell mode or via shell tool)

  const { port, hostname } = new URL(`http://${req.url}`);
