# POST /projects/{project}/regions/{region}/targetTcpProxies

`POST /projects/{project}/regions/{region}/targetTcpProxies`

Creates a TargetTcpProxy resource in the specified project and region using
the data included in the request.

## Path parameters

- `project` string, required
- `region` string, required

## Query parameters

- `requestId` string

## Request body

- TargetTcpProxy — Represents a Target TCP Proxy resource. A target TCP proxy is a component of a Proxy Network Load Balancer. The forwarding rule references the target TCP proxy, and the target proxy then references a backend service. For more information, readProxy Network Load Balancer overview.
  - `creationTimestamp` string — Output only. [Output Only] Creation timestamp inRFC3339 text format.
  - `id` string, uint64 — [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
  - `description` string — An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
  - `service` string — URL to the BackendService resource.
  - `region` string — Output only. [Output Only] URL of the region where the regional TCP proxy resides. This field is not applicable to global TCP proxy.
  - `loadBalancingScheme` 'EXTERNAL' | 'EXTERNAL_MANAGED' | 'INTERNAL_MANAGED' | 'LOAD_BALANCING_SCHEME_UNSPECIFIED' — Specifies the type of load balancing scheme used by this target proxy.
  - `proxyBind` boolean — This field only applies when the forwarding rule that references this target proxy has a loadBalancingScheme set toINTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. When this field is set to true, Envoy proxies set up inbound traffic interception and bind to the IP address and port specified in the forwarding rule. This is generally useful when using Traffic Director to configure Envoy as a gateway or middle proxy (in other words, not a sidecar proxy). The Envoy proxy listens for inbound requests and handles requests when it receives them. The default is false.
  - `selfLink` string — [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
  - `name` string — Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply withRFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
  - `kind` string — Output only. [Output Only] Type of the resource. Alwayscompute#targetTcpProxy for target TCP proxies.
  - `proxyHeader` 'NONE' | 'PROXY_V1' — Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend, either NONE or PROXY_V1. The default is NONE.
