Setup: Connect Continue.dev to AI Privacy Gateway

Configuration — Change One Line
// In continue config.json
{
  "models": [{
    "title": "GPT-4 (Privacy Protected)",
    "provider": "openai",
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "apiBase": "http://localhost:9999/v1",  // Privacy gateway
    "apiKey": "your-api-key"
  }]
}

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. 1 Deploy the privacy gateway locally: docker run -d -p 9999:9999 ...
  2. 2 In Continue config, set "apiBase" to "http://localhost:9999/v1"
  3. 3 Continue.dev now sends masked code context to AI providers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with the latest version of Continue.dev?

Yes. AI Privacy Gateway works at the HTTP layer as a transparent proxy. It is compatible with any version of Continue.dev that makes HTTP API calls.

Will this affect my Continue.dev performance?

The gateway adds less than 1ms per request. The PII detection engine is written in Rust for maximum throughput, so your Continue.dev application performance will not be noticeably affected.

Can I use this with multiple AI providers through Continue.dev?

Yes. Route all your AI API calls through the same gateway. It works transparently with any OpenAI-compatible API — just change the base URL.
