Hi! Tried Cloudfront approach but this solution does not appear to be working. 1 - there's a missing property override as per Mixpanel documentation docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/javascript#tracking-via-proxy MIXPANEL\_CUSTOM\_LIB\_URL 2- there is a need to forward 3 request headers: X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-Host. The first one is not allowed by cloudfront.. without this set we cannot include the library.
