Other than having a [separate domain](/self-hosted/experimental/reverse-proxy/#expose-only-ingest-endpoint-publicly) to view the web UI and ingest data, you can also put a separate box (or server) for ingesting data, and have it relay data to the main box. This setup is recommended for high-traffic installations, and environment where you have multiple data centers.

Using this setup also prevents DDOS attacks, since we assume your main box can only be accessed using some kind of VPN. If there are any invalid payload being sent to your Relay instance, it will be dropped immediately. If your main box is not reachable, your Relay will keep retrying to send the data.

You should configure the Relay to run on `proxy` mode, and point it to the main Sentry server. You can also configure it to use a different port, or a different protocol (HTTP or HTTPS).
