 # Other configurations
 
+## Proxy Headers
+
+EasyHAProxy automatically sets standard proxy-awareness headers for all HTTP requests:
+
+| Header | Description | Example Value |
+|--------|-------------|---------------|
+| X-Forwarded-For | Client IP address | `203.0.113.50` |
+| X-Forwarded-Port | Port HAProxy received request on | `443` |
+| X-Forwarded-Proto | Protocol (http or https) | `https` |
+| X-Forwarded-Host | Original Host header from client | `example.com` |
+| X-Request-ID | Unique request identifier (UUID) | `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000` |
+
+These headers help backend applications:
+- Determine the original client IP
+- Detect HTTPS vs HTTP
+- Generate correct URLs with proper hostname
+- Correlate requests for debugging and monitoring
+
+**Note:** Headers are only added in HTTP mode, not TCP mode.
+
 ## Exposing Ports
 
 Some ports on the EasyHAProxy container and in the firewall are required to be open. However, you don't need to expose the other container ports because EasyHAProxy will handle that.

+E2E tests for proxy-awareness headers
+
+These tests verify that EasyHAProxy correctly sets all standard proxy headers:
+- X-Forwarded-For: Client IP address
+- X-Forwarded-Port: Port HAProxy received request on
+- X-Forwarded-Proto: Protocol (http or https)
+- X-Forwarded-Host: Original Host header from client
+- X-Request-ID: Unique request identifier (UUID)
+
+Additionally, tests verify HAProxy logs contain the unique-id for request correlation.
+
+Requirements:
+- pytest
+- requests
+- docker-compose
+
+Usage:
+    # Run all proxy header tests
+    pytest tests_e2e/test_proxy_headers.py -v
+
+    # Run specific test
+    pytest tests_e2e/test_proxy_headers.py::TestProxyHeaders::test_all_headers_present -v
