# Overview
\nThis mod adds `Proxy Protocol` (or `HAProxy`) support to your Minecraft server. It also fixes TCPShield connections on your server!<\/p>\n
# FAQ
\n**Q**: Does this affect performance?<\/p>\n
**A** (Simple): No.<\/p>\n
**A** (Full): No, this mod only reads connection packets and checks if they are using a HAProxy header. There is no hard operations happening. If anything, this should speed up log-ins as we patch players loading in to the world. We do this because the HAProxy handler handles connections on a different thread than the main server thread.<\/p>\n
**Q**: Does this fix TCPShield connections?<\/p>\n
**A** (Simple): Yes!<\/p>\n
**A** (Full): Yes! You can actually turn `proxy-protocol` to `enabled` in your TCPShield panel and then your players’ IPs will actually be parsed correctly by your server.<\/p>\n
