# sesame proxyd — Manage the Local Edge Proxy

> sesame proxyd reload sends SIGHUP to sesame-proxyd so a just-added secret's host is brokered immediately, without waiting for the ~60s host cache to expire.

`sesame-proxyd` is the local edge proxy that `sesame launch` routes an agent's egress through. It caches the set of brokered hosts for about 60 seconds, so a secret you just added isn't spliced instantly — until the cache expires, the proxy passes that host straight through.

## `sesame proxyd reload`

Bump the proxy immediately after adding a secret:

```bash theme={null}
sesame proxyd reload
```

This sends `SIGHUP` to the running `sesame-proxyd` so it re-reads the brokered-host set and starts splicing the newly added host right away — no restart, no dropped connections.

<Note>
  You only need this when you've **just** added a secret and want the host brokered now. Left alone, the proxy picks up the new host on its own within \~60s.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Reload fits between adding a secret and verifying: `sesame secret create …` → `sesame proxyd reload` → `sesame onboard verify`. See the full flow in [Transparent Egress](/agents/transparent-egress).
