# Error 9009

## ERR\_NGROK\_9009

Running the agent with an http/s proxy is a Pay-as-you-go feature. If this is unexpected, verify that there is no proxy\_url value in your ngrok configuration file and that the http\_proxy environment variable is not set.

If you need this capability, upgrade to a Pay-as-you-go plan at: [https://dashboard.ngrok.com/billing/choose-a-plan](https://dashboard.ngrok.com/billing/choose-a-plan)

### Additional Information

If you are seeing an error such as: `ERROR: Invalid configuration property value for 'http_proxy': URL scheme must be 'http' or 'https'`, this means that you have a value set for the environment variable `http_proxy` or `http_proxy_env` and that it does not include the scheme in he value. If you are trying to use a proxy with ngrok, try updating the value of the env variable to include the proper scheme. If you are not trying to use ngrok with a proxy, then you will need to unset those env values before starting ngrok.
