+## Configuration examples
+
+Add a `proxy` device that forwards traffic from one address (the `listen` address) to another address (the `connect` address) using NAT mode:
+
+    lxc config device add <instance_name> <device_name> proxy nat=true listen=tcp:<ip_address>:<port> connect=tcp:<ip_address>:<port>
+
+Add a `proxy` device that forwards traffic going to a specific IP to a Unix socket on an instance that might not have a network connection:
+
+    lxc config device add <instance_name> <device_name> proxy listen=tcp:<ip_address>:<port> connect=unix:/<socket_path_on_instance>
