+# Running wireproxy with rc.d
+
+If you're on a rc.d-based distro, you'll most likely want to run Wireproxy as a systemd unit.
+
+The provided systemd unit assumes you have the wireproxy executable installed on `/bin/wireproxy` and a configuration file stored at `/etc/wireproxy.conf`. These paths can be customized by editing the unit file.
+
+# Setting up the unit
+
+1. Copy the `wireproxy` file from this directory to `/usr/local/etc/rc.d`.
+
+2. If necessary, customize the unit.
+   Edit the parts with `procname`, `command`, `wireproxy_conf`  to point to the executable and the configuration file.
+
+4. Add the following lines to `/etc/rc.conf` to enable wireproxy
+   `wireproxy_enable="YES"`
+
+5. Start wireproxy service and check status
+   ```
+   sudo service wireproxy start
+   sudo service wireproxy status
+   ```
