Yes, setting up a proxy for Mixpanel APIs is a common approach, especially to reduce the likelihood of ad-blockers impacting your tracking. Mixpanel provides guidance and sample configurations for this.How it works: 1. Set up a proxy server: The simplest way is to use Mixpanel’s sample nginx config, which redirects calls from your proxy server to Mixpanel. 2. Point your SDK at the proxy: You then configure your Mixpanel SDK (JavaScript, React Native, Android, Flutter, etc.) to send data to your proxy server instead of directly to Mixpanel.Example for JavaScript SDK:Example for Android/Flutter SDKs::**LBKS```LBKSmixpanel.setServerURL("https:://<YOUR_PROXY_DOMAIN> ");```Android | FlutterWhy use a proxy?** - Reduces data loss from ad-blockers. - Gives you more control over the data sent to Mixpanel. - Allows for filtering and cleaning data before it reaches Mixpanel.Considerations: - You’ll need to maintain the proxy server. - Ensure your proxy is configured to forward all necessary headers and handle CORS correctly to avoid issues (CORS troubleshooting tips).This approach is recommended for client-side implementations where data accuracy and reliability are important, and is supported across Mixpanel’s major SDKs123.
