You can enable or disable any HackGATE at any time. When disabled, the proxy stops forwarding traffic to your origin — researchers see a HackGATE default page instead. This lets you pause testing without removing the HackGATE.

​
Enable a HackGATE

Send a GET request to /api/sites/enable/<site-id> to activate a HackGATE and resume forwarding traffic to your origin. 
curl https://admin.hackgate.io/api/sites/enable/<site-id> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"
The response returns the updated site object with isActive: true.

​
Disable a HackGATE

Send a GET request to /api/sites/disable/<site-id> to deactivate a HackGATE and stop forwarding traffic. 
curl https://admin.hackgate.io/api/sites/disable/<site-id> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"
The response returns the updated site object with isActive: false.
Enabling or disabling a HackGATE updates the proxy routing in real time. Changes take effect within seconds.
