KProxy has long been a trusted ally in maintaining network visibility across complex and restricted environments. As we look toward the future of network intelligence, we are excited to help you scale even further by integrating these proven capabilities into a more unified and automated platform experience.

See What’s New

With last week’s release of Flow Proxy as a native capability within the Kentik Universal Agent, we are now officially setting a sunset date for the standalone KProxy binary: May 1, 2027.

We’re sharing this roadmap a full year in advance to ensure your team has a clear and supported path to the next generation of flow collection. This transition moves the robust traffic forwarding you've relied on into a "set-it-and-forget-it" capability model. By consolidating into the Universal Agent, you’re moving toward a more streamlined, single-agent architecture that simplifies your entire telemetry stack.

Why It Matters

Transitioning to Flow Proxy allows you to leverage a modern, high-performance architecture while building on the reliable foundation KProxy established.

• Unified Agent Management: Instead of managing KProxy as a separate standalone service, you can now handle everything through the Universal Agent. This means one binary to maintain, one service to monitor, and a much cleaner operational footprint.
• UI-Driven Control & Visibility: We’ve moved configuration out of local text files and into the cloud. You can now deploy, tune, and scale your Flow Proxy settings directly from the Kentik Portal, giving you faster response times and better oversight.
• Enhanced Security Standards: The integrated Flow Proxy brings FIPS support to your traffic forwarding. This ensures your telemetry meets the highest security and compliance standards required for modern regulated environments without any additional configuration complexity.

Get Started!

The future of network intelligence is unified, and the path forward is simple. We recommend all users begin migrating their KProxy instances to the Universal Agent Flow Proxy capability to start taking advantage of these integrated features today.
