Two handlers in your Caddyfile serve the script from your domain and pass its counts on, with the visitor’s address.

Add two handlers to your site’s block in the Caddyfile:

handle /js/tally.js {
    reverse_proxy https://fiveb.ar {
        header_up Host {upstream_hostport}
        header_up -Cookie
        header_up -Authorization
    }
}

handle /api/tally {
    reverse_proxy https://fiveb.ar {
        header_up Host {upstream_hostport}
        header_up X-Fivebar-IP {client_ip}
        header_up -Cookie
        header_up -Authorization
    }
}

Behind a load balancer or a CDN, list it in Caddy’s trusted_proxies, so that {client_ip} is the visitor’s. See Caddy’s help on reverse_proxy.

Load the script

Once the proxy is live, load the script from your own domain. It sends its counts to the host it was loaded from, so nothing else changes:

<script async data-domain="example.com" src="/js/tally.js"></script>

Then check it works. If either path is already taken on your site, see Other paths. Proxying says how it works and which headers name the visitor.
