# Flowise

Flowise is a no-code platform for building LLM-powered workflows and AI agents. This guide shows how to route Flowise's backend requests through GoProxies using environment variables.

#### Requirements

Before getting started, ensure that:

* No other VPN or proxies are active.
* You have your GoProxies endpoint ready, e.g. `proxy.goproxies.com:1080`
* Your GoProxies subuser (also called API User) username and password.
* Flowise is installed and running. If not, you can get started [here](https://docs.flowiseai.com/getting-started).

#### Proxy Setup

Flowise routes all backend requests through a proxy via environment variables. Set the following when starting Flowise:

```
GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY=http://customer-your_username_here:your_password@proxy.goproxies.com:1080
GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY=http://customer-your_username_here:your_password@proxy.goproxies.com:1080
```

{% hint style="info" %}
To target a specific country, append `-country-country_abbreviation` after your username, e.g. `customer-exampleuser-country-us`, as covered in our [proxy parameters article](https://docs.goproxies.com/proxies/rotating-residential-proxies/proxy-parameters).
{% endhint %}

If you're running Flowise via **npx**, pass the variables inline:

```
GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY=http://customer-your_username_here:your_password@proxy.goproxies.com:1080 npx flowise start
```

If you're running Flowise via **Docker**, add them to your `.env` file inside the docker folder:

```
GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY=http://customer-your_username_here:your_password@proxy.goproxies.com:1080
GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY=http://customer-your_username_here:your_password@proxy.goproxies.com:1080
```

#### Verify the Connection

In Flowise, add an **HTTP Request** node to a workflow and set the URL to `https://ip.goproxies.com`. Run the flow — if the response returns an IP that reflects your proxy location, you're all set.
