## How do I access web services?
## How do I securely access web services?
code-server is capable of proxying to any port using either a subdomain or a
subpath.
subpath which means you can securely access these services using code-server's
built-in authentication.
### Sub-domains
Set up a wildcard certificate for your domain and a wildcard DNS entry (or you
can configure each subdomain individually for the ports you expect to use).
You will need a DNS entry that points to your server for each port you want to
access. You can either set up a wildcard DNS entry for `*.<domain>` if your domain
name registrar supports it or you can create one for every port you want to
access (`3000.<domain>`, `8080.<domain>`, etc).
You should also set up TLS certificates for these subdomains, either using a
wildcard certificate for `*.<domain>` or individual certificates for each port.
Start code-server with the `--proxy-domain` flag set to your domain.
```
code-server --proxy-domain coder.com
code-server --proxy-domain <domain>
```
Now you can browse to `<port>.coder.com`. Note that this uses the host header so
Now you can browse to `<port>.<domain>`. Note that this uses the host header so
ensure your reverse proxy forwards that information if you are using one.
