 ## How it works
 
 1. The CLI registers a tunnel with the Reqly server.
-2. It opens a Server-Sent Events (SSE) connection to receive incoming requests in real time.
+2. It polls the server for incoming requests (`GET /api/tunnel/poll`). Polling is used instead of streaming because it survives reverse proxies (Traefik, nginx) that buffer or drop long-lived connections.
 3. Each request is forwarded to your local server (`http://localhost:<port>`).
 4. The response from your local server is reported back to Reqly so you can inspect it in the dashboard.
 
-The connection auto-reconnects with exponential backoff if interrupted.
+In `--passthrough` mode, the caller is held open until your local server responds, and that real response is relayed back to them — so the public URL behaves like a reverse proxy (HTML pages, redirects, status codes), not just a webhook collector.
+
+The poll loop keeps running through transient network errors and resumes automatically once the server is reachable again.
