+## Grout Authentication
+
+Grout supports authentication to protect your files, folders and services from unauthorized
+access.  Use `--basic-auth` flag to enforce authentication.  Example:
+
+```console
+grout /path/to/folder --basic-auth user:pass
+grout https://localhost:8080 --basic-auth u:p
+```
+
+## Grout Paths
+
+By default, Grout allows access to all paths on the services.  Use `--path` flag to restrict
+access to only certain paths on your web service.  Example:
+
+```console
+grout https://localhost:8080 --path /worker/
+grout https://localhost:8080 --path /webhook/ --path /callback/
+```
+
+## Grout Wildcard Domains
+
+By default, Grout client serves incoming traffic on a dedicated subdomain.
+However, some services (e.g. Kubernetes) may want to serve traffic on adhoc subdomains.
+Starting a dedicated Grout client for every adhoc subdomain may not be a practical solution.
+
+For such scenarios, Grout supports wildcard domains.  Here is how to configure your own
+wildcard domain for use with Grout clients.
+
+1. Choose a domain e.g. `custom.example.com`
+2. Your service wants to serve traffic for `custom.example.com` and `*.custom.example.com`
+3. If you plan on using `https://`, you need to setup a load balancer:
+   - Setup a HTTPS load balancer (LB)
+   - Configure LB with certificate generated for `custom.example.com` and `*.custom.example.com`
+   - Point traffic to Grout service public IP addresses
+4. Contact Grout team at support@jaxl.com to whitelist `custom.example.com`.  Grout team will make
+   sure you really own the domain and you have configured a valid SSL certificate as described above
+
+Start Grout with `--wildcard` flag.  Example:
+
+```console
+grout https://localhost:8080 custom.example.com --wildcard

+```
+
 ## Grout using Docker
 
 ```console
-❯ docker run -it \
+❯ docker run --rm -it \
   --entrypoint grout \
-  --rm -v ~/.proxy:/root/.proxy \
+  -v ~/.proxy:/root/.proxy \
   abhinavsingh/proxy.py:latest \
   http://host.docker.internal:29876
