# Configure a data source connection proxy
Grafana provides support for proxying data source connections through a Secure Socks5 Tunnel. This enables you to securely connect to data sources hosted in a different network than Grafana.
To make use of this functionality, you need to deploy a socks5 proxy server that supports TLS on a machine exposed to the public internet within the same network as your data source. From there, Grafana establishes a mutually trusted connection from Grafana to the Proxy. Then the Proxy can proxy the Grafana connection to your private server without exposing your data sources to the public internet.
## Known limitations
- You can configure only one socks5 proxy per Grafana instance
- All built-in core data sources are compatible, but not all external data sources are. For a list of supported data sources, refer to [private data source connect](/docs/grafana-cloud/data-configuration/configure-private-datasource-connect/#known-limitations).
## Before you begin
To complete this task, you must first deploy a socks proxy server that supports TLS, is publicly accessible, and is hosted within the same network as the data source.
## Steps
1. For Grafana to send data source connections to the socks5 server, use the following table to configure the `secure_socks_datasource_proxy` section of the `config.ini`:
| Key | Description | Example |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
| `enabled` | Enable this feature in Grafana | true |
| `root_ca_cert` | The file path of the root ca cert | /etc/ca.crt |
| `client_key` | The file path of the client private key | /etc/client.key |
| `client_cert` | The file path of the client public key | /etc/client.crt |
| `server_name` | The domain name of the proxy, used for SNI | proxy.grafana.svc.cluster.local |
| `proxy_address` | the address of the proxy | localhost:9090 |
1. Set up a data source and configure it to send data source connections through the proxy.
To configure your data sources to send connections through the proxy, `enableSecureSocksProxy=true` must be specified in the data source json. You can do this in the [API]({{< relref "../../../developers/http_api/data_source" >}}) or use [file based provisioning]({{< relref "../../../administration/provisioning#data-sources" >}}).
Additionally, you can set the socks5 username and password by adding `secureSocksProxyUsername` in the data source json and `secureSocksProxyPassword` in the secure data source json.
