# Deploy and Host posthog-proxy-advance on Railway

PostHog nginx proxy routes analytics through your domain to bypass ad blockers, enable cross-subdomain tracking, and maintain data privacy while caching static assets for improved performance.

## About Hosting posthog-proxy-advance

This lightweight nginx container (256MB RAM) acts as a reverse proxy between your applications and PostHog's analytics services. It's stateless, requires no database, and automatically handles CORS for all subdomains of your base domain. Railway provides automatic SSL, environment management, and health checks, making deployment seamless. Simply set your domain and deploy - Railway handles scaling, restarts, and HTTPS termination.

## Common Use Cases

- Multi-subdomain SaaS platforms**: Enable analytics across app.domain.com, api.domain.com, and customer.domain.com with automatic CORS support
- **Ad blocker bypass**: Route PostHog through your domain to ensure analytics collection even with uBlock Origin or AdBlock Plus
- **Enterprise compliance**: Keep analytics traffic within your infrastructure for GDPR, HIPAA, or internal security requirements
