GrowthBook Users

Quick question;

Is the Growthbook Proxy a requirement for streaming to work?
Without a proxy, I can't seem to get it working. (I've not tested with a proxy)

no, its not a a requirement. Which SDK are you using?

React v1.6.2.

The UI says its connected, but it shows `Streaming updates: disabled`

I've initialized it like this;
```const growthbookInstance = new GrowthBook({
  apiHost: runtimeConfig.GROWTHBOOK_API_HOST,
  clientKey: runtimeConfig.GROWTHBOOK_CLIENT_KEY,
  enableDevMode: !isProduction,
  debug: !isProduction,
  disableCache: true,
})

...

growthbookInstance.init({ streaming: true })```

To add;

The docs here (<https://docs.growthbook.io/lib/react#streaming-updates>) do indicate that a proxy (or cloud) is required?

> This is only supported on GrowthBook Cloud or if running a GrowthBook Proxy Server.
I am self-hosting GrowthBook.

To follow up, it seems like the Proxy is a requirement for streaming when self-hosting. :slightly_smiling_face:
I could not get it to work any other way
