# Proxy Defaults
-> **v1.8.4+:** On Kubernetes, the `ProxyDefaults` custom resource is supported in Consul versions 1.8.4+.<br />
**v1.5.0+:** On other platforms, this config entry is supported in Consul versions 1.5.0+.
The `proxy-defaults` config entry kind (`ProxyDefaults` on Kubernetes) allows for configuring global config
defaults across all services for Connect proxy configuration. Currently, only
one global entry is supported.
The `proxy-defaults` configuration entry (`ProxyDefaults` on Kubernetes) allows you
to configure global defaults across all services for Connect proxy
configurations. Only one global entry is supported.
## Sample Config Entries
## Introduction
### Default protocol
You can customize some service registration settings for service mesh sidecar
proxies centrally using the `proxy-defaults` configuration entry in the `kind`
field.
Set the default protocol for all sidecar proxies:
You can still override this centralized configuration for specific services
with the [`service-defaults`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults)
configuration entry `kind` or for individual proxy instances in their [sidecar
service definitions](/docs/connect/registration/sidecar-service).
## Requirements
The following Consul binaries are supported:
* Consul 1.8.4+ on Kubernetes.
* Consul 1.5.0+ on other platforms.
## Usage
1. Verify that your datacenter meets the conditions specified in the [Requirements](#requirements).
1. Determine the settings you want to implement (see [Configuration](#configuration)). You can create a file containing the configuration or pass them to the state store directly to apply the configuration.
1. Apply the configuration using one of the following methods:
- Kubernetes CRD: Refer to the [Custom Resource Definitions](/docs/k8s/crds) documentation for details.
- Issue the `consul config write` command: Refer to the [Consul Config Write](/commands/config/write) documentation for details.
## Configuration
Configure the following parameters to define a `proxy-defaults` configuration entry:
