# Smokescreen

Use [smokescreen](https://github.com/stripe/smokescreen) as a proxy for your

outgoing connections.

This can be combined with

[egress IPs](https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/machine-egress-ip/#main-content-start)

to use a consistent set of IPs for your app.

## Deploying on Fly

The quickest way to deploy this is to import the supplied `fly.source.toml`.

```sh

fly init smokescreen-example --source fly.source.toml

fly launch --no-public-ips --flycast

```

Now you can scale the proxy to multiple regions and machines using

[fly scale count](https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/scale-count/#main-content-start).

For example, to run four instances of the proxy in the `iad` and the `ord`

region, you can run:

```sh

fly scale -r iad,ord count 4

```

And then allocate egress IPs for the machines using the

[fly machine egress-ip allocate](https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/machine-egress-ip-allocate/#main-content-start)

command.

```sh

fly machine egress-ip allocate 

```

Now you can connect to it using anything that supports HTTP proxying using

[flycast](https://fly.io/docs/networking/flycast/). For example, to connect to

the proxy using curl from inside a fly machine, you can run

```sh

$ curl --proxy .flycast:80 https://fly.io

```

By default, machines will use the closest instance of the proxy to them. The

proxy will scale to zero when not in use.
