 - `reproxy.remote` - restrict access to the route with a list of comma-separated subnets or ips
 - `reproxy.assets` - set assets mapping as `web-root:location`, for example `reproxy.assets=/web:/var/www`
+- `reproxy.keep-host` - keep host header as is (`yes`, `true`, `1`) or replace with destination host (`no`, `false`, `0`)
 - `reproxy.enabled` - enable (`yes`, `true`, `1`) or disable (`no`, `false`, `0`) container from reproxy destinations.
 
 Pls note: without `--docker.auto` the destination container has to have at least one of `reproxy.*` labels to be considered as a potential destination.
