Proxyscotch Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Proxyscotch hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Proxyscotch, the Hoppscotch proxy, and send browser API requests past CORS through a server you control. xCloud runs the pinned Proxyscotch v0.1.4 image, generates a 48-character access token and an allowed-origin list, and publishes the proxy on an allocated server port over plain HTTP. There is no dashboard, domain or HTTPS on the proxy endpoint.

What is Proxyscotch?

Proxyscotch is a simple proxy server created for Hoppscotch, the open source API request builder, and formerly hosted by Apollo Software Limited, according to its README. It forwards requests on behalf of Hoppscotch and other API clients, so calls made from a browser are not stopped by the target API's CORS policy. A self-hosted Proxyscotch means you run that proxy yourself rather than relying on a shared one. It is MIT licensed.

On xCloud the template runs Proxyscotch v0.1.4 as the official image pinned by digest, published directly on an allocated server port as plain HTTP. There is no domain, HTTPS or web interface. A generated token is always required, overriding upstream's open default, and the allowed origins default to https://hoppscotch.io. Nothing is stored, so there is no volume.

From Sign-Up to a Live Hoppscotch Proxy In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Proxyscotch normally means a Docker host, a port, a token and CORS settings before the first request goes through. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Proxyscotch from the OneClick catalog and set your allowed origins (default https://hoppscotch.io).
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned official Proxyscotch image, generate a 48-character access token and publish the proxy on a server port.
Step 03
Connect Hoppscotch
Copy the proxy endpoint and token from the protected credentials into Hoppscotch's proxy settings, then send a request to confirm it works.

Everything Proxyscotch Does, On Your Own Server

A private API client proxy for Hoppscotch — locked by default, restricted to your origins, and on infrastructure you control.

CORS-Free API Requests
Send requests from Hoppscotch in the browser to APIs that would otherwise block cross-origin calls.
Your Own Proxy
Keep proxied API traffic on a server you control instead of a shared public proxy.
Locked By Default
xCloud generates a 48-character access token. Requests without it, or with a wrong one, are refused.
Allowed-Origin List
Choose which browser origins receive CORS headers on proxied responses. Defaults to https://hoppscotch.io.
Redaction And Blocking
Optional response redaction and destination blocking through PROXYSCOTCH_BANNED_OUTPUTS and PROXYSCOTCH_BANNED_DESTS.
Stateless And Light
Nothing to lose on an xCloud Restart. The proxy comes back with the same token and origins, idling at about 2 MiB.

What You Can Do With Proxyscotch

Test an API that blocks browser calls
Route Hoppscotch requests through your own proxy when the API's CORS policy would otherwise reject them.
Stop depending on a shared proxy
Use an endpoint and token only your team holds, rather than a public proxy that anyone can reach.
Restrict which sites can use the proxy
Set allowed origins so only your Hoppscotch instance receives CORS headers on proxied responses.
Block destinations you do not want reached
Set PROXYSCOTCH_BANNED_DESTS to refuse internal hosts, since token holders can otherwise reach any destination.

Proxyscotch vs Alternatives

Public proxies: Shared proxy endpoints that anyone may use. A Proxyscotch alternative to public proxies is one you run, behind a generated token and an allowed-origin list that you choose.
Hoppscotch: Hoppscotch has its own OneClick page. In a Proxyscotch vs Hoppscotch comparison, Hoppscotch is the API request builder and Proxyscotch is the proxy it can send requests through.
Calling the API directly from the browser: This works only when the target API sends the right CORS headers. Proxyscotch makes the request server-side, so the browser sees an allowed origin instead.
A desktop client: Desktop API tools are not bound by browser CORS rules. Proxyscotch keeps you in the browser while still reaching APIs that block cross-origin calls.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is Proxyscotch free?

Yes. Proxyscotch is MIT licensed, so forwarding requests costs nothing in software terms. You pay for the Cloud VPS alone, and since the service idles at about 2 MiB it shares that server easily with other apps.

How much RAM does Proxyscotch need?

The manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 128 MB of RAM and 1 GB of disk, and QA measured about 2 MiB idle. The 6 GB plan is far more than a single stateless proxy needs, which leaves room for other apps.

Can you self-host Proxyscotch with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Proxyscotch Docker hosting without the setup: the hoppscotch/proxyscotch v0.1.4 image pinned by digest, a generated 48-character token, an allowed-origin setting and the proxy published on a server port. It stores no data.

How do I connect Hoppscotch to Proxyscotch?

Enter the proxy endpoint and token from the xCloud credentials panel in Hoppscotch's proxy settings, and make sure your Hoppscotch origin is in Allowed origins. Then send a test request to confirm it goes through the proxy.

Hoppscotch hosting

Does Proxyscotch use HTTPS?

No. The endpoint is plain HTTP on a server port with no domain, so the token travels unencrypted. Use it for development traffic, not sensitive production credentials, and restrict the port with your server firewall.

Configure firewall management

Can Proxyscotch token holders reach internal addresses?

By default, yes. Anyone with the token can reach any destination, including internal ones. Set PROXYSCOTCH_BANNED_DESTS to block hosts you do not want proxied, and keep the token private like a password, since it is the only control.

Is there a Proxyscotch dashboard or login?

No. Proxyscotch has no web interface or user accounts, so the generated token is the only control. Requests without the token, or with a wrong one, are refused, and the root health endpoint stays unauthenticated.

How do I back up Proxyscotch?

There is nothing to back up inside the app, because it stores no data and the template has no volume. Just keep your token and allowed-origins setting, which you can change in the Environment editor and redeploy.

How do I upgrade Proxyscotch?

The install stays on Proxyscotch v0.1.4 until you adopt a newer template version. Nothing needs copying across, so read the upstream notes and re-test one request from Hoppscotch. Nothing upgrades the app automatically, and clients keep the same token across a redeploy.

Is there a Proxyscotch cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Proxyscotch cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source proxy for the clients you give the token to. It is a private endpoint, not a shared public proxy, and you decide who holds the token.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
